OREGON: Coals to Newcastle? - (The Boston Globe)

For the first time, an American cheesemaker is, according to this story, exporting cheese to Europe. Rogue Creamery of Central Point, Oregon, will ship raw milk cheeses abroad. It took a couple of years to push this through, an effort by the FDA, USDA, US Dairy Export Council, the American Cheese Society, and the Oregon Department of Agriculture.
Rogue president and co-owner David Gremmels was quoted as saying in a press release, “This is a monumental change in dairy for the U.S. for a raw milk American handmade cheese to be exported,” The US government has created standards that now allow American cheesemakers to take advantage of markets in the EU, he says.
The creamery began shipping Rogue River Blue cheese to the famous Neal’s Yard Dairy in London, and six blues to Whole Foods Market in London. Other retailers in Paris and Amsterdam will carry Rogue cheeses as well.
