Point Reyes, California. Known for its breathtaking views, death defying cliffs, and... its dairy queens: the cowgirl creamery. We all know (and love) them from their long lines and pungent smell at the Ferry Building, but I finally got to the source. Yes, I loved the cheese. Yes, we tried everything. And Yes, seeing them squish and drain and wrap the same style Red Hawk that you are eating is the cheese. BUT I have to say... a little much for the little creamery that could.
I pictured a quaint little cheese shop, a few brusque but witty women with aprons handing out spoons of cheese, all set in a big dirty barn with vats and drying racks of cheese around. What I got was A.G. Ferrari with strong undertones of curdled milk. Just saying. When I drive an hour and a half for your 'cheese factory' kitsch should abound. But all was forgotten when the cheese hit the bread! [see above] and get yourself some Cowgirl Creamery Red Hawk!
