Nothing says, “I love you” quite like cheese.
Tillamook County Creamery Association will sell 40-pound blocks of cheddar cheese for a limited time starting on Feb. 13. While the farmer-owned cooperative said the sale is being held to celebrate National Cheddar Day and its own birthday, the timing may also be beneficial for those in need of last-minute Valentine’s Day gifts – even if the shipping won’t get it there in time.
This is the first time Tillamook has offered the 40-pound blocks it calls the “Mother Loaf” for sale to the general public. They’re the same blocks that the Oregon-based cheesemaker uses to make shredded, sliced or snack cheese products. The cheese is aged from somewhere between 60 days and 10 years.

We’ve been using the same recipe for 112 years, naturally aging our cheddars to get the perfect bold flavor, bite after bite.”
