Our Hubbardston Blue was the original surface ripened chevre made at Westfield Farm. Like the Classic Blue Log, it is a surface ripened blue goat cheese. But unlike the Classic Blue goat cheese, the Hubbardston Blue gets its innoculation when it is in the liquid milk state, rather than as a fresh chevre. It is also aged longer (about 30 days). When ripe, its original bright-blue rind is subsumed by a powdery gray bloom and the surface is crenolated by the creamy consistency of the interior. The result is a complex taste, reminscent of truffles and mushrooms. In 1993 Hubbardston Blue as awarded Best of Show at the American Cheese Society's convention, an acknowledgement that an external blue chevre was not only possible, but very desirable.
