Maytag Dairy Farms Recipes and Pairings

The pioneer of American blue cheese, Maytag Dairy Farms continues a decades-long tradition producing handcrafted blue cheese in Newton, Iowa.  Time and a few simple, high-quality ingredients transform sweet local, farm-fresh milk into our premium blue cheese.  Cave aging creates a bloomy rind, beautiful blue veining and signature flavor. The Maytag legacy is the job that comes with sharing good food.

Tasting Notes on Our Signature Cheese

Artisan crafted in small batches from local, Iowa milk, Maytag Blue Cheese is cave aged for a minimum of 120 days to produce distinctive green veining, creamy texture, and a piquant, zesty flavor that is slightly pungent with a smooth lemony finish.  

Pair Maytag Blue Cheese with our artisan jams or honey.  Our cheese complements all your recipes for every course, fro appetizer to complete and interesting desserts and pairs well with bold, full bodied wines.  This blue is a classic addition to salads, dressings, or on a cheese board with a drizzle of our natural honey.
