Tillamook Cheese Review and Giveaway

Posted in Reviews

Cheese Prize PackTillamook Cheese

We eat large quantities of cheese around our house.  It’s just how it is.  We eat cheese as a snack.  We use it as a insignificant ingredient in recipes, but more often than not, it’s front and center.  We eat cheese pretty much every day.  Because of this, I feel it’s important to make sure that we’re eating good cheese.

Not all cheese is created equal.  In fact, some cheese is downright horrible.  In order to take care of our bodies, we need to make sure they we are eating quality products with quality ingredients.

A few years ago, we started to try to remove artificial hormones from our diets.  We introduced organic milk to our diets as well as hormone free dairy.  Now, we still eat a few products, like ice cream, that are not made from hormone free cream/milk, but we do our best to follow the rule of no artificial hormones in our dairy.

Prior to moving to Arizona, I had not heard of Tillamook cheese.  I don’t know if it was one of those things that we just misssed, or if it just wasn’t in our area.  Whatever the case, we quickly learned that we had been missing out on some tasty cheese.  When I was asked if I would like to review some Tillamook cheese products, I jumped at the chance.

Tillamook is a farmer-owned company that has been around since 1909.  They’ve been using the same award-winning recipe for the medium-aged cheddar for over 100 years.  They use only high quality ingredients in their cheese which means that the cows who provide the milk have not be treated with artificial growth hormones.  They are famous for their 2 lb medium cheddar cheese baby loaf which has been naturally aged for more than 60 days.  Recently, Tillamook received the title of World’s Best Medium Cheddar at the 2010 World Championship Cheese Contest.

In addition to their delicious cheddar cheese, Tillamook offers family favorites such as pepper jack and colby jack.  The cheese comes in the 2 lb. baby loaf, blocks, slices, shreds, and individually wrapped portions for on the go.  All of the flavors we have tried were rich, creamy, and bursting with delicious flavor.  From mac ‘n cheese to nachos to sandwiches to snacks, Tillamook cheese met both our taste and our health desires.

*******Giveaway*******

Tillamook has offered to send one of my readers a fun cheese prize pack.  You will receive a baby loaf in the mail.  Well, it’s actually a box that looks like a baby loaf (as pictured above).  The prize pack will contain coupons to purchase your own Tillamook cheese as well as a cheese slicer and a heart-shaped sandwich cutter.

    Hi! I guess the only dish I can think of with cheese is Macaroni and Cheese. I like Cheese in several casseroles or just basic cheesy potatoes whether they are mashed or au gratin style. Thank you for this giveaway. I have never tried this cheese and would love to. 🙂

    Fav cheese recipe??? Cheese Fondue…mine comes out different every time cause I do use up what’s in the fridge.
    I always start with a medium white sauce and add cheddar and monterey jack, some onion powder, Worcestershire sauce and I thin it with beer.
    We dip crusty chunks of bread, apples, ham, veggies and those tiny little smokie sausages.
    It’s a fun meal too and my kids will eat anything if they can dip it in cheese, even raw cauliflower!!!.
    yummy giveaway, thanks.
