Roaring Forties Blue Cheese is made by the King Island Dairy. King Island is situated south of Melbourne, Australia at the western end of Bass Strait. Dairying is the largest primary industry among this island's 1,500 inhabitants. According to local legend, grass seeds found in King Island's soil are believed to have been washed ashore in straw mattresses from some 60 eighteenth-century French and English shipwrecks that are strewn along the King Island coast. For almost a century now, dairy herds have grazed on these unique pastures. The quality of these pastures, combined with a pristine environment, combined with a year round growing season, enables the dairy farmers on King Island to practice traditional feeding methods. The cows are reputed to produce the sweetest milk in the land and from this milk comes a range of dairy products acknowledged throughout Australia and rapidly earning the same sort of reputation in the international marketplace. Roaring Forties Blue is a full-flavored blue with a sweet, nutty character. The cheese is matured in blue wax, thus retaining its moisture and creating a smooth and creamy texture.

Review Summary: Creamy, smooth, sweet and delicious
Review: This is a really great creamy blue cheese. It was a great stand alone cheese and went well with a nice red wine and some good company. Silky smooth and moist with sweetness to it. I really like blue cheeses and this one stands out. Not a crumbly blue if that is what you are looking for. Highly recommended.

Review Summary: Powerful blue
Review: This is a terrific blue cheese, from Australia of all places. It leaves a strong, but delicious, aftertaste, with a bit of a bite. The consistency is almost like gorgonzola dolce, that is, smooth and creamy, not at all crumbly. For me, it has replaced all other blues, except I still prefer roquefort in a salad. Highly recommended - it was a hit at a holiday party, in fact I had only a couple of thin slivers left over, from a full wheel.

Review Summary: Best example of a blue cheese I've ever tried
Review: And that is no exagerration! Roaring 40's Blue is a wonderful mixture of strength and subtlety.. it's almost impossible to guess what flavour is going to break through next. It's superb on thin crackers and with a glass of good red wine. I tried this at a cheese tasting during the Adelaide Royal Show (in South Australia) and was immediately won over, as were the literally hundreds of people lined up to try it for themselves. I'm of the opinion that once you've had King Island cheese, you never go back! Try it for yourself!
