For the 5th year, foodbloggers from around the world are joining forces to raise money for hungry children. On Heat Eat Review we’re taking part in this effort, helping to raise what we hope will be $100,000.

How are we doing that? We’ve joined Menu For Hope, a worldwide raffle benefiting the United Nations World Food Programme. That’s right, a raffle. With prizes.

Our prize: Award-winning blue cheese from Rogue Creamery

Heat Eat Review is giving away Rogue Creamery’s Champion Blues. The winner will receive three 1/4 wheels of Rogue Creamery’s gold medal-winning blue cheeses: 50th Anniversary Oregon Blue, Crater Lake Blue and Smokey Blue. All three cheeses are made by hand in small batches, with expert cheese makers overseeing every step, from stirring in the salt, to hand dipping, to turning the wheels.

Oregon Blue is the first blue cheese made on the West Coast, Crater Lake is made from a complex blend of molds from around the world, and Smokey Blue is the first-ever smoked blue cheese, redolent with a sweet, carmelized hazelnuttiness.

If you bought this yourself it would cost $99.00 plus shipping! But you can get 3 lbs 12oz of award-winning cheeses for a $10.00 entry. How to enter to win this prize (Prize Code: UW08)
