At the time when EU barred US Hormoned Beef around 1980, no beef without added hormones and other added medicine was available in the USA for export!.
Now the US Beef Industry produces plenty of Meats, 'Organic", that are acceptable by EU.
And it has been reported that some deal has been made to import such Beef, between US and EU.
However, the best US blue cheese, is no match to the Roquefort cheese, which sells at this time about US$13/16 per pound US, compared to US$ 5/7!
Lets hope Roquefort will be liberated from Bush's food imperialism!
I'm a little shocked to hear that EU actually banned hormone-tainted beef! I tend to buy organic stuff myself, but I didn't know you could ban hormoned beef. In the US the stuff's so common I can't imagine a world without it. That being said, I might not mind such a law in America. I suppose it would hamper the already-troubled economy though.
Maytag does look good but I cannot find anyone in the UK who sell it. Maytag sounds similar to Perl Las a Welsh soft blue cheese. There are many good local cheeses so lets enjoy the variety and hope for true free trade in the near future.
Hmmmph...
I enjoy Roquefort cheese made in, of course, France.
However, there is Maytag Blue Cheese, made in Newton, Iowa, USA, since 1941.
If you love blue cheese, and have not tasted the delighful creaminess and full flavor of Maytag Blue Cheese, you need to find a way to do that, the sooner the better.
A blue cheese from Wisconsin is a Wisconsin and Roquefort is from Roquefort. If you like local then buy local and feel good about saving food miles. I will stick with organic Welsh Beef from the next valley and not eat tainted hormonal imports. Roquefort is unique and the best.
Since when do you make Roquefort in the United States ? It's exclusively a product of the town of Roquefort in France. You make mistake with the Blue, strange not to know the difference for a so-called "cheese lover"... (cheese lover my a...).

Good Blue cheese

Roquefort cheese
I live in London and allways buy French wine and cheese because they are the best.I have sampled wine from the Usa and did not enjoy it,very bland.

Roquefort, Blue, whatever.

US Cheese Lovers Don't Need A Reprieve
Wisconsin cheese is better anyway. Especially Wisconsin-made Roquefort. Far better than the French product!
