Wagon Wheel is a semi-soft, cow's milk cheese produced by Cowgirl Creamery. It has a mild and approachable flavor profile, making it suitable for a variety of culinary uses, from melting in sandwiches to serving on a cheese platter. The cheese has a wash-rind and typically exhibits a golden hue with a smooth, flexible texture.
Aging usually lasts around 3 to 6 months, during which the flavors develop a subtle complexity with hints of butter and grass. This cheese exemplifies Cowgirl Creamery’s commitment to artisanal and sustainable cheese-making practices.
