Cowgirl Creamery Mt. Tam is an award-winning organic triple cream cheese with a bloomy rind and washed curd, crafted from locally sourced organic cow's milk in California's North Bay region. Named after the iconic Mount Tamalpais landmark rising over San Francisco Bay in Marin County, this cheese embodies the lush character of North Bay's green and gold pastures. Mt. Tam features a unique fudgy core enveloped in an evolving pudgy creamline, offering a delightful contrast in textures at room temperature.

The flavor profile ranges from bright crème fraîche and cultured butter when young to complex mushroomy notes with umami, brown butter, and hints of fresh pasture and white mushrooms as it matures. The bloomy rind ranges from pillowy white to birch bark in appearance, developing a pleasantly chewy, almost leathery quality with age. This vegetarian cheese uses microbial rennet and has won multiple awards including 2nd place at the California State Fair in 2022 and 2025, and 3rd place at the International Cheese & Dairy Awards in 2023.

Pairs beautifully with sparkling wine such as Champagne, Prosecco, or Cava, California Chardonnay, sparkling dry cider, drinking chocolate, and sweet accompaniments like preserves or honey.
