Marin French Golden Gate is a handcrafted washed-rind triple crème cheese with a striking golden-orange rind and rich, creamy interior. This 8 oz wheel is fashioned after an Austrian style washed-rind cheese, created for cheese lovers who crave pungent aroma, robust flavor, and smooth texture. The cheese is hand-washed with brine four times during its 14-day aging process to develop Brevibacterium linens cultures that create the natural orange rind and preserve the creamy texture. The unique cultures naturally present in California's coastal air result in an artisan cheese with a true sense of place from Petaluma, California.

Golden Gate ranges from semi-soft, fudgy and robust when young to earthier oozing umami as it approaches its best-by date. The cheese features earthy, vegetal aromas balanced with rich, savory flavors and just the right amount of salt. Best enjoyed at room temperature and pairs beautifully with hearty California red wines, aromatic whites, cider, or sour beer.
