The Supreme Champion of the 2023 World Cheese Awards!  Named for a local river, this blue cheese is made on a family farm along “The Golden Road” of the lush Inderøy Peninsula, an area known for some of Norway’s best food.  Farmer Ole Morton’s family has lived on the farm since 1913, when it was bought by his great-grandfather John M. Aasen.  His mother Astrid and father Perry Frøysadal took over the farm in 1983, and in 1998 took the pioneering step of becoming Norway’s first certified farmstead cheesemaker.  Ole is now responsible for the herd of 40 cows, and his wife Maren is responsible for cheese production.  The Nidelven Blå itself is unique for a soft blue, aged for a minimum of six months.  This long ripening yields a cheese with a gentle and plump texture when young, that becomes yielding as it ages.  The straw-yellow paste is buttery and rich, becoming sweet with a spiced finish as it matures.
