Summer Cheese Collection
Celebrate Summer as the days stretch long and golden, summer arrives with warmth, ease, and an invitation to gather. From sun-drenched afternoons to breezy evenings shared outdoors, the season calls for simple pleasures, generous boards, and flavors that feel bright, abundant, and unmistakably celebratory.
Our Summer Collection brings together a vibrant selection of artisan favorites made for picnics, patio tables, and lingering sunset gatherings. It begins with Cowgirl Creamery Mt Tam, a luscious organic triple cream with a fudgy heart, buttery softness, and flavors that move from bright creme fraiche to savory mushrooms. Alongside it is Cowgirl Creamery Wagon Wheel, a versatile, approachable cheese with a mellow, savory richness that shines on a board and melts into pure comfort.
Completing the cheese trio is Cypress Grove Purple Haze, a fresh goat cheese delicately accented with lavender and fennel pollen for a floral, herbaceous note that feels perfectly suited to the season.
To round out the collection, we’ve added crisp crackers, Quince & Apple Figs & Black Tea Jam for deep fruit sweetness with a refined tea-kissed finish, and Fra’ Mani Soppressata, a rich, savory salume that brings just the right touch of indulgence. This is summer on the table: golden, relaxed, and full of flavor. Let it inspire your gatherings, your grazing, and every sunlit moment in between.
Cowgirl Creamery makes cheese with heart.

Today, they’re proud to be an icon in the industry, carrying the torch of the food revolution that started in their backyard. Organic. Farm-to-Table. Delicious, award-winning cheese. It’s in their DNA. And it defines their famous creations, including the beloved triple cream Mt Tam.
