Have you ever thought about what happens while a cheese ages? They don't just sit there getting better all by themselves, you know. 

Aged cheeses go through a lot to get to the state of perfection you find them in at the grocery store. While the process is different for every type of cheese and depends on its environment, some cheeses are flipped over several times a day or daily to ensure even ripening, brushed or wiped down to control mold growth on the rind, or even washed with a brine solution to encourage the right kinds of yeasts to grown on the rind.

All of these things happen at Cascadia Creamery in Trout Lake. Fluffy, young wheels of Cloud Cap are flipped, wheels of Glacier Blue are rubbed down, wheels of Sawtooth get a little rub-a-dub-dub with some brine, and wheels of Sleeping Beauty get a nice brushing. All of these treatments contribute to the beautiful, well-aged cheeses that you get to take home later on.

Cascadia Creamery makes certified organic, raw cow's milkcheeses aged in a natural lava tube cave in Trout Lake, Washington. We source our milk from a fourth-generation family dairy about a mile away from the creamery.

For a small creamery, we’re proud of the fact that we make four distinctly different cheeses. A natural rinded tomme, an aged bloomy, a blue, and a washed rind. 

Sleeping Beauty is our flagship style. It’s a natural rinded tomme that’s rich and buttery. It's excellent with charcuterie and a bold red. It slices nicely and melts wonderfully. 

Cloud Cap is an aged bloomy rind that's like a Welsh style Caerphilly. It's great with fresh summer fruit and pears. It's got a citrusy note and leaves the palate clean. 

Glacier Blue is our approachable blue. It's a meaty, savory, bacon-y blue that pairs with well sweet wines, tart cherries, bacon, and savory, meaty foods. It’s excellent on salads and grilled asparagus. 

Saw Tooth is our wash rind that has just the right amount of funk. It's savory and meaty, has a lot of umami and pairs with craft ciders. 

We just won our 7th Good Food Award, which is important because it highlights the quality of our cheeses, and our commitment to sustainability. taken in Trout Lake, Washington - Mt Adams by @cascadiacreamery

When the cows are away, the cheesemakers will play! This pasture is right behind the creamery. A perfect spot for some fast laps in the sun! The cows will come back out here later this Spring after the snow is all melted and the grass is lush. ❤️ by @cascadiacreamery

2026 Washington Cheese Box #1 featured cheese: Sawtooth by @cascadiacreamery. 

Cascadia Creamery is a family run operation located in the foothills of Mt. Adams in the town of Trout Lake, an area with a long and rich dairy history. And their cheeses truly are a reflection of the place where they are made. They make raw milk cheese exclusively, which means that milk is minimally processed to preserve its unique properties. Then they are aged for more than 60 days in an underground aging room inside a natural lava tube cave where airflow traveling down from Mt. Adams maintains the ideal temperature and humidity for aging cheese. All of this is reflected in the exquisite flavor, texture, and rinds of their expertly crafted cheese. 

And we are very happy that Sawtooth is making its first appearance in our cheese box! Sawtooth is a semi-soft, washed-rind cheese with a fudgy, smooth texture that they only make on a limited basis. Named for the nearby Sawtooth Huckleberry Fields on the shoulder of Mt. Adams where Native Americans have picked berries for thousands of years, Sawtooth requires painstaking affinage to achieve the right texture and intricate savory, meaty flavors that is balanced by just the right amount of funk. 

Order your Washington Cheese Box today (link in profile) and taste the terroir and love and care that went into making Sawtooth and four other local cheeses featured in this box! You can place your order by February 15 and pick it up on February 22 between 3-5pm at @laddandlass.

Just wrapped up all holiday orders (literally). We place evergreen sprigs from our forest on top of every one of our cheese wheels that we sell.  I particularly love the festive piney scent of freshly cut sprigs during the holidays. 🎄 Many thanks to all our loyal customers who have Cascadia Creamery cheeses on their holiday tables. You keep our world spinning.
