West West Blue

oil on wood, 12x12"

West West Blue, original artwork by Mike Geno

From the Cheese Portraits series.

This comes from Parish Hill Creamery, where respected (legendary?) cheese maker, Peter Dixon works with his wife and family to make some amazing cheese. I was told I should definitely have painted a Peter Dixon cheese if I am going to have a respectable archive of artisanal cheese.

Traditional aged, two-curd Gorgonzola, West West Blue is made with whole, raw milk from Elm Lea Farm and aged 90 - 180 days. The edible rind surrounds an interior with openings filled with streaks of blue mold, a creamy texture and a spicy, earthy flavor.

Origin: USA, Vermont
