"Point Reyes landed on the cheese map in 2000 when this creamery introduced California’s only classic-style blue cheese. The award-winning peppery and pungent Original Blue remains one of the most anticipated cheeses among cheesemongers and customers when each year’s batch debuts in the fall. They ship their blue and tomme-style cheeses individually, but to sample it all, try a gift box collection, such as the Anniversary Collection or the Crowd Pleaser."
