Maytag Blue Cheese Dip

Source of Recipe

From "Saveur: The New Classics"


Recipe Introduction

"The most celebrated American blue cheese, Maytag Blue - made on a dairy farm in Newton, Iowa, and cave-aged for six months for a full, rich flavor - is available in quality cheese shops. Other blue cheeses may be substituted, but Maytag is worth looking for. Celery sticks make an ideal vehicle for this rich dip."

◦  ¼ cup sour cream
◦  ¼ cup heavy cream
