Cyn, we do have the Roth Case Buttermilk Blue here in Syracuse in grocery stores. It's my
favorite too. You have a Wegmans or P&C nearby, right? Our Wegmans has 17 different brands of blue cheese - I counted them once! Or is that the 40-mile away store for you!? ;o( I know you live in a small town, and I guess that's one of the bad things about that.
How about an ethnic store near you/Albany? Lots of times they have a very good cheese department.
