WSU Creamery's Award winning Cougar Gold Cheese!Cougar Gold®

Our most famous and popular cheese. Winner of several national and international awards. A rich, white cheddar with a smooth, firm texture. Cougar Gold® becomes sharper and more crumbly with age and develops crystals throughout the cheese. This unique cheddar has a depth and intensity most people have never before experienced. Like a fine wine, Cougar Gold® gets better with age. Since its creation in the 1940's, it remains unequaled in comparison. Its creamy, lingering flavor will leave you wanting more.

Seasonal/Limited Flavors

WSU Creamery's Crimson Fire CheeseCracked Pepper & Chive

We've added cracked black peppercorns and chives to our Viking cheese. Only a limited number of cans are available and this flavor is only available for a short time beginning in September each year.

WSU Creamery's Crimson Fire Cheese3-Year Aged Cougar Gold®

Usually, Cougar Gold® is aged one year. This cheese may not be available in the future. What can you expect from the extra aging?

  • The extra aged cheese is sharper and more flavorful. One of the unique qualities of Cougar Gold® is, unlike other cheddars, Cougar Gold® does not develop a bitter taste, even when aged for several years.

  • There may be some moisture in the can. As the cheese ages, it goes through a process called syneresis, which is the separation of liquid from a gel/solid caused by contraction. With age, the moisture in the cheese comes out and may result in texture changes.

  • The extra aged cheese is generally more crumbly.

  • Crystals may be more prevalent throughout the extra aged cheese. These are the amino acid tyrosine.

These are expected and preferred aspects of quality, aged cheese.

WSU Creamery's Crimson Fire CheeseOreganto

Our newest cheese was originally call Tomato Oregano but the results of a naming contest changed the name. We've taken our gourmet Viking cheese and tossed it with diced tomatoes, Mediterranean-Style oregano and a hint of Italian spirit. The perfect mix for any appetite. Only a limited number of cans are available and this flavor is only available for a short time beginning in February each year.

A Cheese of the Month Club allows you to give a different cheese monthly for 3-8 months. You choose the variety and frequency of delivery. We will announce your gift by mailing a certificate letter. Each shipment is a 30 oz can.
