"Before and After" - Twitpics from @HughL

Despite it being winter, it seems like lots of our fans have been talking about Tillamook Ice Cream this week (maybe the cold weather is making them dream about summertime?). I know I enjoy a bowl of Tillamook Ice Cream any time of year – sunny and warm or snowy and cold!

Here are pieces from some of my favorite conversations this week. As always, thanks for hanging out with me online!

Facebook:

From Jacqui E.: We are still waiting for the Grandma’s Cake Batter ice cream to reappear in Cave Junction, OR!!!! I NEED that ice cream!!!

From Kirsten M.: Love the new yogurt flavors Blueberry Acai and Pomegranate Blackberry yummy.

From Melissa B. (winner of the Tillamook.com Scavenger Hunt): Dear friends at Tillamook… THANK YOU!!!! The cheese pack arrived today… yummy goodness and I was SO surprised that it had all the other goodies in there… nuts, salmon, crackers and a Tillamook cheese slicer!! I especially love the button that says “I loaf you!” … ya gotta know… I’m going to wear it!

From Angela M.: My mom being the amazingly fantastically smart woman she is shipped me 2 baby loaves of medium cheddar for my birthday. I had my first REAL grilled cheese sandwich in over 2 years-since we moved to Georgia. It is amazing. Keep up the good work :)

From Crystal G.: My family absolutely LOVES Tillamook Cheese. We will not eat any other brand! When we lived in NY we could not find Tillamook anywhere, so my mom would send us care products of our favorite NW products and of course Tillamook was on the top of our list!

From Loni H.: the new banana vanilla yogurt is delicious!

From Ted M.: Mr./ Mizz Cheese: hands down, the best FB food like ever! Tasteful, fun, entertaining hands down.

From Karen C.: Happy Valentine’s Day…I sure miss Tillamook Cheese! My kids were raised on it…(one of them still lives in Oregon so she still enjoys it) I see you’re in Spring, TX, but I need to find out where. Tillamook is worth a little bit of a drive if need be! I would even enjoy a loaf of Tillamook Medium Cheddar cheese for Valentine’s Day present…(hopefully the hubby is gonna read this!!!)

From Erin-Renee K.L.: My daughter LOVED!!! the little VW you had a in Mesa, AZ… she is 4 and now is still wearing the little pin you gave her… and she made us buy 3 things of cheese… You made a big fan… who LOVES cheese

From Rhiannon M.: I absolutely love your cheese!! We just started buying it about 2 months ago and I will NEVER buy another brand! So to find out that I can now purchase Tillamook Yogurt at my local Safeway, I’m elated!

Twitter:

From @almostmonday: @TillamookCheese Happy Birthday to my favorite cheese! I look forward to grilled cheese with you for another 100+ years!

From @wineshout: Just crossed the border with some @TillamookCheese …was that illegal? I dunno, but it’s a guilty pleasure :)

From @jborge: Best. News. EVER!! @TillamookCheese yogurt is now available in AZ! Here’s to hoping ice cream is next :-)

From @andTheJoel: @TillamookCheese you are missing my favorite recipe. Take a block of Tillamook Cheese, Slice, Eat.

From @geezersgirl: I should know better than to try another cheese just because I had a coupon. Nothing compares to @TillamookCheese

I was recently looking through the photos that our fans share with us on our Facebook page. Some of them are absolutely hilarious, like the above photo. It’s even funnier when you know the back story. Here’s what fan LoriAnn G. told us about her mysteriously bite-marked loaf:

I told my two year old daughter that she could NOT have anymore cheese. She would literally eat it all day if I let her. I took the cheese and put it back in the fridge. The next time I was in my fridge I saw this… She was determined to bite strait through the plastic to get to her favorite cheese. Good thing the plastic was strong enough to keep her out!

That kid has some serious cheese determination… or maybe she’s just teething? Either way, she has excellent taste in dairy products!

"Good until the last drop!" - Jaclyn P.

It’s finally the weekend! I think I’ll take some advice from the little guy above and celebrate by eating (drinking?) every last drop of ice cream. Have you tried our new Cinnamon Banana Bliss? It’s, well, blissfull!

Talk to you all next week!

What a whirlwind of a week in the Tillamook online world! This past Monday, we launched our brand new Tillamook.com website (the one you’re looking at right at this very moment!). Have you had time to explore it? What do you think? We’ve also been celebrating our new website with fun giveaways (free cheese!). Have you had the chance to play our Cheese IQ Quiz yet? There’s a question about me, Loafy, in the quiz!

Happy weekend to everyone!

From Charlotte C. (about our new Cheese IQ Quiz): That was FUN! And thanks so much for the question on squeeking cheese curds – I’ve actually always wondered why they did that, and now I know! :)

From Collin P.: Today, as I was running some errands at my neighborhood’s local Fry’s grocery store (Tempe, AZ). I was pleasantly, and enthusiastically, greeted by Noel and Andrea. During this warm and bright encounter I conveyed to them my undying love for Tillamook Sharp Cheddar Cheese! Thank you for sending them out to share the joy of Tillamook. They did a wonderful job: great smiles, teaching some more history of the people who produce Tillamook Cheese, and telling me of various other ways to use the product beyond what I presently use it for. They were also kind enough to let me try and capture my personal enthusiasm for Tillamook on video in hopes to let you all know what a wonderful job you do… also I constantly tell other people of your superior product and that it would be well with them to use/experience it!

From Lorna V.: Tillamook cheese could make cardboard taste fantastic! So putting it on a croissant must rock!

From Pamela B. (see above photo): Hello, I’m a native Oregonian out in Boston’s big snow storm right now… this little guy came back home with me after the holidays- just wanted to let you know he’s keeping warm in the snowpocalypse.

From @Rayne73: @TillamookCheese Dear TC even being Vegan I sometimes cheat and eat your Vintage Sharp Cheddar cus I cant help myself its my addiction

From @JeffGreenhouse: Love it! Great photos and well constructed: RT @TillamookCheese Have you seen our brand new website?! http://www.tillamook.com/ #cheese

From @iphlogger: @TillamookCheese – asked daughter to bring a new “loaf” up from the freezer… She brought up tillamook cheese instead of bread.

From @almostmonday: @TillamookCheese Guess who was today’s winner!? Me!!! I’m soooo excited! Thanks for the fun IQ test too!
