Maytag Farm Reserve is the newest blue cheese in the Maytag Dairy Farms family of cheeses. Made by hand and aged in the same hillside caves where the cheesemakers have been crafting blue cheese for nearly 80 years. Cheesemaking is a fusion of art and science. Time and a few simple ingredients transform sweet, farm-fresh milk into a food with complex flavor and rich texture. Still today, Maytag Blue Cheese is crafted in the traditional, time-honored method. Every step of the way, the craftsmanship of our cheesemakers is evident. The classic buttery taste and texture of Maytag Blue gives way to new flavors in Maytag Farm Reserve. Left intact, the natural edible bloomy rind develops as the cheese ages, enhancing the flavor profile of this blue cheese with stronger, earthy flavors. Farm Reserve has deep, earthy flavors imparted by the terrain of Iowa: warm and rich, with nutty and mushroom undertones. Maytag Farm Reserve is made with pasteurized cow's milk and is cured an average of 6 months; leaving a final product that has an edible bloomy rind, and a white body with blue veining, with a fudgy and dense texture. Maytag Farm Reserve is made as 4 lb. wheels and sold as either the 4 lb. wheel or as 4 oz. wedges. Farm Reserve can be kept in the original foil and stored in the plastic wrapper to retain the moisture and preserve the texture, for up to four to six weeks in cold refrigeration. To preserve, it can be rewrapped in plastic after cutting. Maytag Farm Reserve is an excellent table cheese, a true star of a charcuterie or cheeseboard. The flavors work wonderfully with other rich flavors that can stand up to its boldness: ports, rich desserts, and your most treasured sparkling wines. Other notable pairings for the Farm Reserve would include dark chocolate, nuts, fig preserves and honey. An amplified taste and incredibly creamy texture as dense as fudge, this is a true artisan cheese experience meant to be shared. Maytag Dairy Farms: founded by family, created for friends.
