Red Hawk

Organic Triple Cream with Funk.

Named for the majestic local red-tailed hawk that soars over the Marin Headlands, Red Hawk is a washed rind triple cream made with organic, locally sourced milk. Red Hawk is for the bold, conveying the character of coastal Northern California. Beyond its rough and rowdy aroma, this cheese has a rich and meaty flavor with balanced notes of cured meats, wild sage, and a kiss of ocean air.
