OT Tillamook Cheese

[ABM]

Man, Tillamook Cheese products are showing up on shelves and restaurants ALL over Nashville! Love it!

I remember seeing Tillamook thick-cut style shredded cheeses a number of months ago, They're great, by the way. Now, it appears there are number of copycats of that variety out there - including Sargento and Kroger.

Whatever the marketing department is doing at Tillamook, they certainly seem to be doing things right!

Love the Extra Sharp White Cheddar in the Black wrapping.

Should be on every Christmas charcuterie board.

Tillamook is the best cheese. Better than anything the Wisconsin folk are making.

Sargento sucks. Don't bring them up again in relation to Tillamook.

Bandon cheese is pretty good. I believe they were bought by Tillamook over a decade ago.

Cougar Gold is better if you are putting it out for crackers or a charcuterie board.

Cougar Gold is the shit.

We have a full thread about cheese somewhere, I think.

When I arrived in Music City, my wife had never heard of Tillamook. Boy, she knows about them now! I'm happy she's sold on them!

Crap, I said the B word. Wasn't there controversy awhile back in another thread regarding that term? At any rate, no potential insults intended.

Their aged extra sharp white cheddar is my favorite!!

You should never call your wife boy, okay, just never.

Aren't you like a cheese wiz or something?

The wife loves cheese but had never had Cougar Gold (of course I fixed that in a hurry) or Tillamook living down here in South Texas. Got the CG shipped down here but couldn't find Tillamook until a couple years ago. Now our main grocery store is selling it and adding more of their products, even found the individually wrapped Sharp White Cheddar at Target. Along with the cheese, the ice cream started showing up on shelves as well, really seems like they are making a nationwide push and I'm here for it. This summer finally took her to the factory and I think that's where most of our souvenirs from the trip came from.

On a side note, I know Cougar Gold can get expensive in retailers, but if you buy straight from WSU it's $25 for a can (still pricey but better than the $40-$50 I know most retailers sell it for). https://cougarcheese.wsu.edu/

Tillamook < Cougar Gold < Kraft Singles

 

[Tweak]

I preferred Bandon cheese over Tillamook before they bought them out. Now its pretty much the same as Tillamook but a little cheaper.

Kerrygold Cheeses, Dubliner and Skellig (Costco carries it) are my favorites. I cold smoke 20-30 lbs of cheese a year and those are two that I
won't touch because smoke doesn't/can't improve the flavor. Boarshead Chipotle gouda and Horseradish cheddar are next on my list.

A little smoked Chipotle and horseradish right outta the smoke, they darken up quite a bit overnight.

Kerrygold Cheeses

Kerrygold is a great dairy company. Their butter is the best I've ever tasted.

"Tilamook Cheese" may be my favorite thread title ever!

 

[Stevenson]

The only thing comparable imo is Beechers Flagship. Anyone else know it? It's awesome!

Haven't heard of that brand.

Tillamook < Cougar Gold < Kraft Singles

Kraft singles are disgusting. I will never eat that again for the rest of my life. My mom used to try to make grilled cheese sandwiches with kraft singles and I refused to eat them. They should not be made for human consumption.

Haven't heard of that brand.

It's a Seattle brand. Probably not in your neck of the woods. They have a fantastic shop at Pike Place Market.

You say that to be edgy, but we know this is you:

Petroleum-based product.

Oregon State used to sell their own cheese basck in the ten years I went there, was in the Army and recovering from a disability. I liked it.
Last time I looked, which must have been over three decades ago, Tillamook sold more cheese than any other creamery in the nation.
