Mt. Townsend Creamery is located in Port Townsend, Washington. They use cow's milk produced within thirty miles of the creamery, from two dairy farms that use no growth hormones and strive to allow the cows to pasture-graze as much as possible. Only a few years old, the creamery is already coming into its own and winning raves around the country for its outstanding artisanal cheeses.
Trailhead is styled after a French mountain tomme. It is a semifirm, smooth, creamy cheese with a clean tang in the finish. It is somewhat similar to Comte but has less nuttiness and more smooth richness. Trailhead melts wonderfully and makes great sandwiches and pizzettes, but is also exceptional eaten out of hand. It will go nicely with a variety of wines, and for a real treat, try it with our Palette Preserves Golden Raspberry Jam. The savory mild creaminess of the cheese goes very well with the popping tang of the jam. Visit our website or come into the shop to try it!
