Classic Cowgirl Cheese Collection

The three cheeses that made Cowgirl Creamery famous, in one best-selling trio: the decadent triple-cream Mt Tam, the funky washed-rind Red Hawk, and the versatile aged Wagon Wheel. All three are made with organic Northern California milk, the way Sue Conley and Peggy Smith have done since founding the creamery in a Point Reyes hay barn in 1997. The two are James Beard Award winners credited with sparking the West Coast artisan cheese movement. The ideal introduction to the Cowgirl table.

MORE DETAILS

This package includes 3 of Cowgirl Creamery’s Signature Cheeses:

• Mt. Tam (approx. 7 oz.) – An organic American Original cheese recipe, our best-selling cheese has all the lusciousness you expect from a triple cream with a unique heart that upholds its texture. Named after the iconic landmark Mount Tamalpais that rises over the San Francisco Bay in Marin County, Cowgirl Creamery’s Mt Tam cheese is produced with organic, locally sourced milk and rises above the standard for bloomy rind cheeses. Mt Tam takes you from fudgy firmness to buttery softness with flavors spanning from bright creme fraiche to complex and mushroomy, evoking the North Bay’s lush green and gold pastures.
• Red Hawk (7 oz.) – Named for the majestic local red-tailed hawk that soars over the Marin Headlands, Red Hawk is a washed rind triple cream made with organic, locally sourced milk. Red Hawk is for the bold, conveying the character of coastal Northern California. Beyond its rough and rowdy aroma, this cheese has a rich and meaty flavor with balanced notes of cured meats, wild sage, and a kiss of ocean air.
• Wagon Wheel (6 oz.) – Born from the sunshine of California’s rolling golden hills, Wagon Wheel is our most versatile and snackable cheese. At room temperature, it’s snackable, delicate, and nutty. When melted, we call it Liquid Gold, with notes of salted brown butter, heavy cream, roasted leeks, and roasted garlic.

There is Mold on My Cheese!

• Traditional cheeses are often made with natural rinds that display a variety of colorful molds and bumpy textures. These rinds protect the cheese as it ages while contributing to its unique flavor profile
• Bacteria and mold are essential components of cheese. When cut and wrapped, molds and surface oils can develop on the face of the cheese. Simply scrape the surface with a knife to remove before serving.
