Celebrate National Fudge Day With Us!
 

Tillamook Fudge

The Fudge Counter at the Tillamook Cheese Factory

Creamy, sweet, indulgent treats – of course we’re talking about Tillamook Fudge! This Thursday, June 16th, fudge takes center stage at the Tillamook Cheese Factory because we’re celebrating National Fudge Day! And what better way to do that than by introducing the newest flavor to our fudge line up.  Drum roll please …

Chocolate Triple Play! A decadent combination of chocolate, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate fudge, swirled with rich caramel and topped off with Heath Bar toffee bits. It’s a slice of heaven in a fudge pan!

For National Fudge Day, we’re offering a special deal for all our Tillamook fans as well. When you buy a pound of any flavor of Tillamook Fudge we’ll give you a quarter pound free! You’ll also get the opportunity to Spin the Wheel to win more treats, like a fudge pretzel cup, or a fudge hazelnut cup – even a full pound of Chocolate Triple Play!

Don’t miss the fun on National Fudge Day at the Cheese Factory. Hope to see you there!

Featured Personality: Georgia at the Fudge Counter

Georgia Wilson-Zuercher wears two hats—er, aprons—at the Tillamook Cheese Factory, spending half her work days as a prep cook in the Farmhouse Café and the other half behind the fudge counter, making delicious Tillamook fudge.

Seven days a week during peak visitor season, Tillamook fudge is made— with real Tillamook Butter— in two large pots. It’s then sold in containers or by the pound in fudge loaves, on tempting displays behind the glass counter.

Our most popular Tillamook Fudge - Peanut Butter Chocolate

The fudge team has created over 40 flavors – variations on vanilla, chocolate, and milk chocolate fudge. The most popular flavor is Peanut Butter Chocolate, except among little girls, who seem drawn to the pink-and-white Raspberry Cheesecake. The newest flavor is Candy Bliss, a vanilla-pecan-caramel-chocolate confection.

Tillamook Fudge beckons visitors behind the glass case at the Tillamook Cheese Factory

Georgia says Tillamook is one of the best companies a person could work for. When her husband passed away several years ago, “they were so good to me—they went above and beyond,” she says. And when she remarried, to childhood friend Stan, “everyone was very happy for me.” Georgia and Stan have three adult daughters and three grandchildren, happily living close by in the Pacific Northwest.

The highlight of making fudge, Georgia says, is seeing the results as each batch is finished. And over her 10 years at the Tillamook Cheese Factory, she’s enjoyed watching some of her coworkers grow up from teenagers to adults with their own kids. “It’s been fun to watch,” she says. “They’re really good people.”

“As far as I’m concerned, you couldn’t have a better job than this one,” she says.
