Cougar Gold Cheese is a type of cheddar cheese produced by the Washington State University Creamery. It is known for its unique packaging in a can and its rich, sharp flavor that develops with age.

History[edit]

The development of Cougar Gold Cheese began in the 1940s as part of a research project at Washington State University (WSU). The project aimed to create a cheese that could be stored for long periods without refrigeration. The result was a cheese that was not only durable but also delicious, gaining popularity over the years.

Production[edit]

Cougar Gold Cheese is made using traditional cheddar cheese-making techniques. The cheese is aged for at least one year, during which it develops its characteristic sharp flavor. The cheese is then packaged in 30-ounce cans, which help preserve its quality and flavor over time.

Cougar Gold Cheese is known for its creamy texture and sharp, tangy flavor. The cheese has a pale yellow color and a crumbly texture that becomes more pronounced as it ages. It is often enjoyed on its own, with crackers, or as part of various recipes.

Availability[edit]

Cougar Gold Cheese is available for purchase directly from the WSU Creamery, both online and at their on-campus store. It is also sold at select retailers in the Pacific Northwest. Due to its popularity, it is often in high demand, especially during the holiday season.
