Description:
Vegetarian, blue cheese of cylindrical shape made from cow's milk. It has been produced
since 1920's when the Maytag's founded their family farm producing cheeses. This cheese is
not produced in huge volumes as the cheesemakers want to keep the tradition of hand-made
cheese and offer only best quality cheese to the customer. Maytag Blue has a crumbly
texture and it reveals a very spicy flavor. The period of curing and maturing takes six
months. Other cheeses from the production of Maytag Dairy Farm include White Cheddar and
Edam. This cheese is used as a table cheese for dressings and salads.
