AGED CHEESES FROM COWGIRL CREAMERY

MT TAM
Just North of the San Francisco Bay, Mt. Tamalpais rises like a monument to Northern California's natural beauty. In deference, Cowgirl Creamery named its signature cheese MT TAM. It's a smooth, creamy, elegant, 10-oz, triple-cream - made with tasty organic milk from the Straus Family Dairy. MT TAM is firm, yet buttery with a mellow, earthy flavor reminiscent of white mushrooms. MT TAM won 1st Prize in the soft-ripened category at this year’s American Cheese Society competition.

RED HAWK
Cowgirl Creamery captures the essence of West Marin with its Red Hawk, a triple-cream, washed-rind, fully-flavored cheese made from organic cow's milk from the Straus Family Dairy. Aged six weeks and washed with a brine solution that promotes the growth of a bacteria that tints the rind a sunset red-orange, Red Hawk won Best-In-Show at the American Cheese Society's Annual Conference in 2003.

ST PAT
ST PAT is our seasonal springtime cheese. These rounds are made with whole organic milk and are wrapped with stinging nettle leaves. Do not fear the nettles, since they are washed and then frozen to remove the sting before they are wrapped around the cheese. ST PAT, with its distinctive, green wrapping, commemorates the arrival of spring in Marin County. After three weeks of aging, ST PAT is mellow, soft, and full of flavor. The nettle leaves impart a smoky, artichoke flavor. (10-ounce round; case of 6) : Nutrition Info

PIERCE PT
Some of the best things in life are simply not available all the time. That's the case with Cowgirl Creamery's PIERCE PT, which is produced only in fall and winter. Made from organic whole milk from the Straus Family dairy, PIERCE PT is washed in a muscato wine and rolled in dried herbs from the Tomales Bay coastal region. The result is a delicious cheese - semi-firm yet creamy, complex yet never overpowering - that you'll recall longingly when it's out-of-season. (10-ounce round; case of 6) : Nutrition Info

FRESH CHEESES FROM COWGIRL CREAMERY

CLABBERED COTTAGE CHEESE
Cowgirl Creamery Cottage Cheese starts with non-fat organic milk from the Straus Family Creamery, and then it is dressed with additional clabbered cream. The Cowgirls won a blue ribbon from the American Cheese Society in 2005 for this stylish version of old fashioned cottage cheese. This small curd cottage cheese is rich and creamy and pleasantly addictive. (8 ounce; 4 pound) : Nutrition Info

FROMAGE BLANC
Used like cream cheese, fromage blanc is a staple of the French diet. Because Cowgirl Creamery Fromage Blanc is made with whole milk instead of cream, our fromage blanc contains 30% less fat than cream cheese and about 80% more flavor, making it a favorite with Bay Area restaurant chefs. (8 ounce; 4 pound) : Nutrition Info

CREME FRAICHE
To make Cowgirl Creamery Creme Fraiche, extra rich Straus cream is cooked at a low temperature for hours, allowing it to thicken and develop a sweet, almond character. It is then cooled, cultured, and left to set overnight. The Cowgirls won a blue ribbon for Creme Fraiche from the American Cheese Society. (8 ounce; 4 pound) : Nutrition Info
