Bleating Heart cheeses are mainly distributed through Tomales Bay Foods/Cowgirl Creamery, and are available from the select venues listed below. Keep in mind that due out extremely small and seasonal production, the cheeses are not always available, so call ahead to see what's in stock! If you have any questions about buying Bleating Heart cheese, please use the contact form available under the Contact menu link at the top of this page to get in touch with us. Thanks to the following fine retailers & restaurants for their support: Southern California: Venissimo cheese shops & The Linkery restaurant in San Diego. Northern California: Cowgirl Creamery stores, Cheese Plus in San Francisco, Rainbow Grocery in San Francisco, The Epicurean Connection in Sonoma, and The Cheese Shop of Healdsburg.
Sonoma Toma is distributed by Tomales Bay Foods/Cowgirl Creamery, but supply is limited since our production is quite small at this time. Contact Tomales Bay Foods Wholesale Dept. to inquire: (866) 249-7833. Also, we are very excited about a couple of new cheeses about to be released this summer..... Brebis is a soft sheep milk cheese in 4 oz containers, similar to fresh chevre/goat cheese, but made with sheep milk, which is much more mild and buttery than goat cheese. It's not chevre....it's brebis!..... Trifecta is our mixed milk creation, consisting of about 50% sheep milk, 40% cow milk, and 10% goat milk. These raw milk tommes average 2.5 lbs each, with a natural rind. They are aged for 4 to 6 months on local California redwood shelves, made out of wood that is responsibly harvested from coastal forests in nearby Mendocino County and certified by the Forest Stewardship Council...... Due to a shortage of sheep milk while we build up the flock, Fat Bottom Girl is on hiatus this year and will return to the market around May 2011.
