Indeed, cheese shows up in so many of my favorite appetizers and desserts that I’ve taken to calling party spreads “Sarah’s Festival of Cheese.” This weekend, Rogue Valley residents can truly celebrate cheese with some of our local masters. Rogue Creamery will host the Oregon Cheese Festival from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at its Central Point headquarters, 311 N. Front St. A $5 entry fee buys tastings and demonstrations. For another $5, visitors can take home a commemorative wine glass etched with the Oregon Cheese Guild logo. Numerous Oregon and Northern California creameries will sell cheese and offer samples this weekend. Participants include Fraga Farms, Juniper Grove, Pholia Farm, Tumalo Farms, Tillamook Cheese Co., Willamette Valley Cheese Co., Fern’s Edge Dairy, Rivers Edge Chevre, Ancient Heritage Farmstead, Vella Cheese and Rogue Creamery. Other participating culinary artisans are Lillie Belle Farms, Dagoba Organic Chocolate, Gary West Meats, Rising Sun Farms, Applegate Valley Artisan Bread Co., Butte Creek Mill, Pennington farms, SOS Pear Station, Slagle Creek Winery, Cliff Creek Vineyards, Madrone Mountain Vineyards, Eden Vale Winery, Paschal Winery, Agate Ridge, Troon Vineyard and Rogue Ales. For more information, call Rogue Creamery at 665-1155, ext. 123. This entry was posted on Friday, March 16th, 2007 at 11:14 am and is filed under The Whole Dish .
