Searching for an American artisanal cheese that is under $10 a pound? Maybe you're having a bunch of people over for the Oscars but don't want to break the bank? You've come to the right place, how about Black River Blue? Clocking in at $9.99 a pound at Murray's Cheese it will surely be a hit! Great with a nice beer or a glass of red wine, it is a very versatile blue.

Crafted by North Hendren Co-op in Willard, Wisconsin who have been in the cheese business since 1923, Black River Blue is one of two cheeses in their regimen, the other being a Gorgonzola. Made with fresh milk and a closely protected recipe this blue cheese is medium bodied -- creamy and buttery with that fabulous blue spicy piquant punch and a nice bright milky citrus-y finish! It has that classic blue veining with a nice ivory paste and somewhat crumbly. This is American farmstead cheese done right and affordable! So take yourself to Murray's Cheese and pick some up for the Oscars or for a night in with friends or to share with some wine and that special someone.
