Chimney Rock

Chimney Rock is an American cheese hailing from California, where it's produced by Cowgirl Creamery. The cheese is made exclusively in fall from the milk of Holstein cows. It ages for 4 weeks, and during that time, it develops a bloomy rind that's washed in Muscat wine, then rolled in black pepper, shiitake mushrooms, and summer savory.

The aromas are rich and fruity and the texture is soft. The flavors are piquant, savory, and earthy, with hints of orange blossom and apricots. Chimney Rock is named after a hiking trail in Point Reyes.
