What it is
This is a unique cheese crafted by Rogue Creamery, known for its artisanal approach to dairy. It is a semi-soft cheese infused with the rich, malty flavors of chocolate stout beer. The cheese develops a complex profile during its aging process, resulting in a creamy texture and a distinctive taste that balances the savory notes of cheese with the subtle sweetness and depth of the stout. It is a product of Rogue Gold Dairy Inc., a part of Savencia.

When serving, allow the cheese to come to room temperature to best appreciate its creamy texture and nuanced flavor. It is excellent as a centerpiece on a cheese board, perhaps accompanied by dark fruits or crusty bread. For cooking, it melts beautifully, making it a superb addition to sauces for pasta or vegetables, or as a gourmet topping for grilled meats and burgers. Its distinctiveness means it can stand alone or complement other robust flavors without being overpowered.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike many cheeses, this variety incorporates the distinct characteristics of chocolate stout, offering a sweet and malty undertone that is not commonly found. This infusion creates a richer, more complex flavor profile compared to plain semi-soft cheeses, with a subtle bitterness that complements its inherent cheesiness.

Home cooks and cheese enthusiasts who enjoy exploring unique and bold flavor profiles will appreciate this cheese.
How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, wrap any remaining cheese tightly in parchment paper or cheese paper, then place it in a loosely sealed container or plastic wrap in the refrigerator. This helps prevent it from drying out while allowing it to breathe.
