Cowgirl Creamery
| Mt Tam is an organic triple cream, bloomy rind cheese produced by Cowgirl Creamery in Marin County, California, using pasteurized cow’s milk from the Straus Family Creamery. It embodies California’s artisanal cheese movement, blending French triple cream style with a washed curd process for a sweeter, less acidic profile. Aged 3-10 weeks, it features a dense, fudgy core and creamy, pillowy texture. Flavor notes include cultured butter, white mushroom, and crème fraîche. The cheese uses microbial rennet, is USDA Organic certified, and pairs well with sparkling wine, Chardonnay, and certain beers. Its aging and terroir reflect unique Northern Californian environmental influences. | |
