Red Hawk Organic Triple Cream with Funk

Red Hawk is a bold, washed-rind triple cream cheese made with organic, locally sourced cow’s milk, inspired by the coastal landscape of Northern California. It’s known for its pungent aroma and rich, savory flavor, with notes of cured meats, wild herbs, and a subtle ocean brininess. Cowgirl Creamery designed it to reflect the character of the region, resulting in a creamy, indulgent cheese with a “funky” personality. Often enjoyed with wine, beer, or charcuterie, it’s a standout choice for those who appreciate complex, full-bodied cheeses.
