Asher Blue is a raw cow's milk blue cheese. The cheese makers at Sweet Grass Dairy named this cheese after their middle child, and according to the Wehners, this cheese is certainly mischievous enough in the production process to be named after Asher! However, when this cheese behaves the result is anything but trouble. The dense, creamy paste has the characteristic blue veins producing a rich, robust flavor.

Asher Blue can be used to create sophisticated appetizers like mushroom caps stuffed with shallots and herbs or you can simply crumble it on top of a juicy burger. It can be used as the key ingredient for a terrific salad dressing. Beverage-wise Asher is versatile. It pairs well with zesty wines like Port or Sauternes, but also stands up to full-bodied reds like California Cabernet Sauvignon. For our beer drinkers, a strong ale like Chimay Blue or Arrogant Bastard Ale is your best bet.

  • Made from unpasteurized cow's milk.

What’s the best way to store my cheese?
The best way to keep cheese fresh is to store it in the vegetable crisper in your fridge. Before doing so, wrap in parchment or wax paper, then wrap loosely in plastic wrap. You can also buy our exclusive cheese storage bags, specially created to keep your cheese fresher, longer.

Unless used for cooking, we don’t recommend storing cheese in the freezer as this will alter its texture.

What is the best temperature to serve my cheese?
Remove cheese from the fridge an hour before serving, as cheese is best experienced at room temperature to enjoy the full spectrum of flavors.

How long will my cheese stay fresh in the refrigerator?
The length of time cheeses last in the fridge after opening depends largely on the type of cheese. Soft varieties tend to spoil more quickly than hard varieties. Please refer to the table below for a convenient reference:

How We Ship

FreshWave Packaging

Our products are always shipped so they will arrive at your door in optimal condition! We’ve carefully selected packaging options that have minimal impact on the environment without compromising on food safety or quality. 

For perishable orders, we line our shipping boxes with Tempguard - a unique, padded insulator made of 100% pre-consumer recycled paper material. We further control the temperature with recycled kraft paper fill and non-toxic frozen gel packs. In the summer months, we may include dry ice to ensure fresh delivery in very hot weather.

Note: Please join our efforts to be mindful of our environment and extend the life-cycle of our packaging, by recycling your shipping box, Tempguard liner, and kraft fill (all 100% curbside recyclable!). Store the gel packs in your freezer and reuse to keep your next picnic or road trip fare cool.
