Wagon Wheel

by Cowgirl Creamery. Product of the USA.

Wagon Wheel is a Californian cow's milk cheese with natural rind. Aged for over 75 days.

Luxurious in its natural state, the paste becomes irresistible when melted. Wagon Wheel emerged in conversations with Zuni Cafe chef Judy Rodgers, who was hoping to find a domestic alternative to the young Italian Asiago that the cafe uses on pizzas.

The flavor has a slight tartness balanced with richer notes of brown butter and cream.

Suggested pairing: a medium-intensity white wine with restrained oak such as a California Pinot Blanc  

Ingredients: organic pasteurized cow's milk, salt, cultures, rennet.
