Cowgirl Creamery Washed Rind Red Hawk Cheese, 1 lb

Born on the Northern California coast, Red Hawk cheese by Cowgirl Creamery is a celebrated example of American artisanal cheesemaking. Crafted from rich, organic cow’s milk and carefully aged, this washed rind cheese is distinguished by its striking orange-red exterior—a result of repeated brine washing that develops its signature character. Each wheel is handled with care, allowing the natural flora of Marin County to impart a unique sense of place and complexity to every bite.

Red Hawk reveals a bold, aromatic presence balanced by a luscious, buttery paste. The flavor profile is robust yet nuanced, offering notes of earth, cream, and a gentle tang that lingers on the palate. Its creamy texture becomes almost spoonable at peak ripeness, making it a centerpiece for cheese boards or a decadent addition to rustic breads. Enjoy Red Hawk as the star of a tasting flight, or melt it over roasted potatoes for an indulgent twist on comfort food.

For a memorable pairing, serve Red Hawk cheese with crisp green apples, dried apricots, or a drizzle of honey. A glass of sparkling wine or a farmhouse ale enhances its rich, savory notes. Whether entertaining guests or savoring a quiet moment, Red Hawk brings a taste of coastal California to any table.
