It is frequently utilized as a table cheese or incorporated into salads by chefs seeking a creamy, assertive blue flavor.

Was Old Chatham Ewe's Blue made entirely from sheep's milk?

What did Old Chatham Ewe's Blue taste like?
It was known for combining the dense richness of ewe's milk with a salty, tangy blue character. Its texture was generally firmer and more compact than very soft, spoonable cow's-milk blues.
Where was Old Chatham Creamery located?
The original creamery was established in Old Chatham in New York's Hudson Valley. It became particularly associated with American sheep's-milk cheeses, including the better-known soft-ripened Hudson Valley Camembert.
What could replace Old Chatham Ewe's Blue on a cheese board?
A sheep's-milk blue such as France's Roquefort is the closest broad stylistic substitute, though it will not reproduce the exact texture. Spain's Cabrales is usually more forceful and may include mixed milks, so it is a less direct replacement.
