The best cheese in the world is not French
The best cheese in the world is not French.
Horror, misfortune: the best cheese in the world is not French!
Worse, he is American.
In any case, this was confirmed by the 2019 World Cheese Awards held in Italy.
Rogue River Blue, this is the name of this blue-veined cheese, was crowned the best cheese in the world during this prestigious competition.
It's a blue cheese that comes to us from Oregon in the USA, and it's now the king of cheeses. At $235 a wheel, we're not yet the most expensive cheese in the world, but it's starting to make a good budget for an aperitif.
Made by Rogue Creamery, it is a particularly elaborate cheese. It is matured for 9 to 11 months, then wrapped in vine leaves… themselves soaked in pear liqueur!
Everything is done by hand, of course, for a rendering with notes of ripe fruit, vanilla, truffles, figs and pear liqueur.
