Bixby
Inspired by the iconic Bixby Bridge, this double-cream cow’s milk cheese is our take on a German-style Butterkäse (literally "butter cheese"). Known as an "entry-level bougie cheese," Bixby is decadently smooth and mild. It features a supple, velvety texture with a symphony of buttery notes and a subtle lactic finish.
