Can I go to Oregon? I am in LOVE with Tillamook Cheese - Review & Giveaway


I was asked if I would be interested in reviewing Tillamook Cheese.
I am a lover of cheese, so I said yes... I just needed to make sure we had it near me...
I looked and looked and did not find it anywhere.
(Then again, I really did not have a lot of options. But that is not the point.)

The point is, I found it...
and yes, curiosity got the best of me.
Was it really "THAT GREAT?!"

Um, one word:
YES!!!!

It was worth the drive, worth the search!
It was like I found my pot of gold! :)
( I would LOVE to go to Oregon, home of Tillamook!)
I was with my brother, so I asked what he thought I should go with...
Smoked Cheddar was the choice.

I got home and of course, I had to try it...
I cut up a few slices and I was immediately taken back to my childhood with my Nana.
She used to get a gift basket that had the most delicious sausage/cheese/crackers and spreads.
I have never had anything so good since...
But, this Tillamook I am telling you about...
Whoa!
My mouth is getting all watery just thinking about it!

You know, we used to slice the cheese and then serve it with crackers... or plain...
and it was just SO YUMMY!!!!
That was it!
The feeling of days gone by...
The memories and the taste!
I felt as though I was back at my Nana's eating this and watching Wheel of Fortune or Who's The Boss! Seriously, this is the good stuff!
Tillamook is more than just any old cheese. Tillamook is a collection of over 100 dairy families who show their love in their work... They have been around since 1909, so obviously they are doing something right!

Tillamook has a wide variety of flavors...
You can start with Medium, Sharp or Extra Sharp.
Now, you can go a bit bolder with Garlic, Black Pepper or PepperJack...
I like how they not only have all this yummy cheese, but they also have a section of their website that has recipes for you! ( As you know with me, I need all the help I can get... and there are several on here that make my mouth water! They have plenty of macaroni and cheese ones that are sure to put a smile on the boys when they get here!)

I was so excited when their signature bright orange box arrived!!!!
Inside was a smile waiting to cross my face!
It contained a cheese slicer, as much as I love cheese... I did not own one!
Shh... Don't tell on me!
It also had a cute heart shaped sandwich cutter and coupons for more cheese!
(Side note, I found the cheese at Kroger!)

Besides the loafs of cheese, they also offer sliced cheese, perfect for a burger or sandwich!
As well as, shredded Cheese - great for salads and omelette's!
Now that I have these coupons, I will be trying more varieties soon! :)

Don't you want to try it for yourself?
With all of the guests and activities coming up, you know that this cheese would be great! Serve it for a snack or have it on hand for a quick grilled cheese!

One lucky reader is going to win the same Bright Orange Baby Loaf Box that I reviewed!
(Filled with the cheese slicer, heart shaped sandwich cutter and cheese coupons!)

  33. I would like to try Tillamook's Smoked Cheddar in the making of Welsh Rarebit. Rarebit is a sauce or spread made by melting cheese in a bath of beer. It's great, served for breakfast, on top of sourdough toast.

    Hope to win!

    I'd have to say since I was born and raised one town away from the Tillamook Cheese factory and was raised on this cheese I'll just take more Pepper Jack Cheese. It's the best! It's all the best really!
