“Dedicated to Sustainability, Service and Creating the World’s Finest Handmade Cheese.” As mission statements go, that one is a pretty tall order.
But Central Point, Ore.-based Rogue Creamery is making good on that mission. The producer of organic artisan cheese was the first Oregon company to achieve prestigious B Corporation (B Corp) certification from B Lab, based on its exemplary social and environmental performance. Moreover, Rogue Creamery’s Rogue River Blue was named the World Champion at the 2019 World Cheese Awards in Bergamo, Italy — the first-ever American-made cheese to earn that honor.
