Cowgirl Creamery Wagon Wheel Cryo

Experience the liquid gold rush from the hills of San Francisco with Wagon Wheel, a versatile, snackable cheese at its glory when melted down and forged into your favorite meal.

Born from the sunshine of California’s rolling golden hills, Wagon Wheel is our most versatile and snackable cheese. At room temperature, it’s approachable and delicious. When melted, we call it Liquid Gold.

Wagon Wheel’s rosy-hued rind surrounds a delightfully supple center. Flavors of chicken broth, brown butter, and cream make it a winner for both experienced and new cheese fans alike.

Designed by chefs for chefs (originally on Zuni Cafe’s pizza menu), Wagon Wheel is a washed rind cheese crafted from organic cow’s milk and aged for a minimum of 75 days as 15 lb wheels. In this version, wedges of the wheel have been packaged into convenient cryo-packs.
