Named for the blustering, westerly winds that blow across King Island, Australia—where this cheese is made—Roaring Forties Blue is a flavorful cow’s milk cheese. The rindless wheels mature in black wax, which keeps them moist and ensures a smooth, creamy texture. The flavor profile—sweet, grassy, and nutty—benefits from the uniquely rich, sweet milk that results from the cows’ year-round consumption of the island’s verdant and salty pastures. A buttery port will complement this blue’s complexity.

  • Roaring Forties Blue won Champion Cheese at the New York Fancy Food Fair in 2002.
  • Black wax rind helps this cheese retain its moisture, creating a smooth and creamy texture.
  • King Island is located in the Australian state of Tasmania.
  • King Island Dairy is named for the island where it's located, which is situated in the Bass Strait between Tasmania and mainland Australia.
  • They get milk delivered daily from local farms, where cows graze on grass kissed by salt spray, resulting in a sweeter, richer milk.
  • All of King Island Dairy’s cheeses are made from milk produced on the island.

Harder blue cheeses can stay fresh for up to two to three weeks in a crisper drawer when wrapped tightly and unopened, while softer blues may start to dry out after approximately two weeks. The best thing to do is keep the cheese in one of your refrigerator drawers or the vegetable bin; this will help to keep your cheese from drying out. Additionally, we recommend storing your blue cheese in the aluminum foil that it comes wrapped in. All cheeses and meats are perishables—by definition they degrade over time—so we encourage our customers to enjoy the cheese while it's in peak condition!
