<\/a>\nHailing from Newton, Iowa, Maytag Blue Cheese is a World-Class Domestic. It is made from the milk of a prize-winning herd of Holstein cattle, a herd that was first established in 1919 by E.H Maytag, son of the founder of the famous appliance firm. By the 1930\u2019s, time of the Great Depression, the herd achieved enough fame that it was turned to as a means of support for the Maytag family. The populus had stopped buying new appliances, but not milk and cheese. Soliciting the help of Iowa State University microbiologists, the Maytag family developed and patented their greatest cheese, Maytag Blue. Maytag Blue is made with homogenized cream and skimmed milk. Each wheel is handmade\u2026the curd is hand-seeded with Penicillium Roqueforti, hand-ladled into hoops, hand-salted and watchfully cured in caves for six months.
\nThe resultant cheese has a rich and creamy texture; it is assertive and piquant with a long linger. If you serve it to Mom on Mother\u2019s Day we know she will love it, since it has a bright blue flavor that doesn\u2019t fade! <\/p>\n

This cheese is made in the pre-Alps, north of Venice, in an area known as the \u201cSwitzerland of Italy.\u201d Trugole is an artisanal type-cheese, worked by hand, using milk from select cows that only graze in a specific part of the \u201cMalghe\u201d (Mountain pasture) that is known for its rich, varied grasses and herbs.
