Vosges and Rogue Creamery have partnered to pair the artisan chocolatier brand's sweets with the creamery's signature cheeses to deliver a sweet and savory experience for consumers. The collaboration starts off with Vosges' dark chocolate ganache truffles with a toasted hazelnut crunch paired with Rogue Creamery's Rogue River Blue cheese. These products speak to an increasing interest in mature flavor profiles as a nod to adult consumers who are looking to better outfit their charcuterie offerings.
The collection from Vosges and Rogue Creamery will also feature the Girl Meets Dirt's Apricot Spoon Preserves alongside Albina City Nuts' Sweet & Salty Hazelnuts and finally Effie's Oatcakes. The entire collection will start shipping September 15, 2026 and is available now for customers to preorder.
