A<\/span>ny cheese fan worth their salt knows Cowgirl Creamery. The famously female-run outfit has specialized in turning organic, pasture-raised dairy into award-winning cheese in Northern California since 1994. Founders Sue Conley and Peggy Smith were committed to sustainability from day one, and this attitude has driven the company\u2019s mission ever since. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cowgirl\u2019s unique line of cheeses can\u2019t be made anywhere else, as their profiles are so indelibly influenced by West Marin County\u2019s climate and ecology. Moist salt air floats in off the nearby Pacific ocean and settles over the hardy shrubland surrounding Tomales Bay, which in turn provides a distinct piquancy to the milk of local dairy cows. Cowgirl Creamery sources all of its milk from dairy farms within Marin and Sonoma counties, ensuring the freshest products held to the highest production standards. But they don\u2019t just keep the goods to themselves\u2014Conley\u2019s and Smith\u2019s first joint venture was launching a wholesale food distribution company to help connect organic farmers of West Marin County to Bay Area restaurants. Tomales Bay Foods continues to ensure that small farms remain a crucial part of Greater San Francisco\u2019s food infrastructure. <\/span><\/p>\n

But what about the cheese? We\u2019re glad you asked. Cowgirl\u2019s star players, including Mt Tam, Red Hawk, and their distinctly dense cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche, are a cut above the rest. Triple-cream cow\u2019s milk Mt Tam stands out as the perfect party cheese (even if you\u2019re just having a party for one). It\u2019s at once supple and creamy, smooth and full-bodied, its fudgy core surrounded by a creamline that ripens with age. We recommend serving it (at room temperature, of course!) with candied ginger, which brings out Mt Tam\u2019s sweeter notes and acts as a pleasingly spicy foil to the cheese\u2019s sultry paste.<\/span><\/p>\n
