Fat Bottom Girl handcrafted American Original Cheese by Bleating Heart
Availability: 
Limited quantities, May through December, or until sold out

Created in 2009 with absolutely no test or experimental batches, this is our flagship cheese, whose name was inspired by a Queen song and the cheese's accidental rotund shape. Each wheel of "Fat Bottom Girl" cheese is totally hand crafted with the raw milk from a small flock of sheep who are never crammed into a barn or feedlot. Made only in small batches, Fat Bottom Girl is approachable and appealing to both cheese geeks & novices alike.

Founded in June 2009, Bleating Heart Cheese began with a mission to enter the artisan cheese industry by producing a very small quantity of unique, handcrafted, premium quality “American Original” sheep milk cheese. Sheep milk is very hard to come by - you cannot just go to the store and buy it!

We are totally committed to our sheep milk cheeses here at Bleating Heart, but the sheep milk is seasonal, subjecting us to a long dry spell. Even when things get going again, it takes a while for the milk to really start flowing enough to meet our needs. So what’s an insatiable cheesemaker to do? Well, we had to look for some extra milk action on the side. We fulfilled our bawdy appetite by stepping out and getting some luscious jersey cow milk to mix with our beloved sheep milk.
