Even at room temperature, Cowgirl Creamery’s Heart’s Desire will melt hearts. The California creamery transforms their beloved triple-crème Mt. Tam into a heart shape for Valentine’s Day. Crafted with love using fresh, organic milk from a family farm, Heart’s Desire retains Mt. Tam’s downy white rind, intensely fudgy middle, and notes of salted butter and button mushroom. The only addition is a dose of romance. Experience a soulmate-level match by pairing with Wildwood Chocolate’s Berry Berry bar.
“I’m a sucker for anything heart-shaped. Pair that with triple crème, and it’s a clear winner. I pair it on a board with some salami flowers using Murray's Sopressata Salami and a sprinkling of ChocoHigos® Chocolate Covered Figs.”

- Heart’s Desire is made using the same base as Mt. Tam, but it gets shaped into a heart before it ages for two to four weeks, developing its delicate bloomy rind and fudgy, decadent texture. * For this cheese, Cowgirl Creamery uses organic, single-herd milk from Tresch Family Farms in Sonoma County. * It’s a triple-crème cheese, meaning cream is added during the production process to reach the required 75% butterfat. * Butterfat content in cheese is measured as a percentage of “fat in dry matter," indicating that at least 75% of the solids in a triple-crème cheese are butterfat. * The cheese is rich, creamy, and buttery, with notes of crème fraiche, button mushroom, and fresh grass. * Another ideal Valentine’s Day pairing is with a swipe of bright Sidehill Farm Raspberry Jam atop buttery Vanilla Bean Shortbread from Rustic Bakery.
