Question 1

Do your dairy products contain artificial hormones?

Accepted Answer

No, they don’t - thanks for asking! All Tillamook dairy products — cheese, butter, ice cream, sour cream, and yogurt — are made with milk from cows not treated with rBST*

To look for Tillamook Cheese and other products in your area, please visit https://www.tillamook.com/tillamaps/. Because we sell our cheese to grocery stores through distributors, it’s sometimes difficult for us to know exactly which type of Tillamook Cheese is currently stocked in a specific store. If you’re looking for a particular flavor of cheese, we recommend that you call a store to check on their cheese inventory. You can also purchase most of our cheeses and cheese curds from our https://shop.tillamook.com/. If you would like to be able to purchase Tillamook products at a store that doesn’t currently carry them, we recommend speaking to the store manager and requesting our products. Please feel free to use our Product Request Template, which you can fill in, print out, and hand directly to a store manager.

Accepted Answer

It’s best to store https://www.tillamook.com/products/butter in the fridge.

Then cover the butter and store it back in the refrigerator when you’re done.

Question 9

Where are Tillamook products made?

Accepted Answer

After more than 100 years and growing demand, we’re making more products than ever before where it all began, in Tillamook, Oregon. While there’s no limit to the ingenuity, hard work, and commitment of Tillamook’s people, there is a limit to our natural resources and production capacity. So, we do make some of our products outside of Tillamook, but we aren’t taking Tillamook out of any of our products. We insist on working only with best-in-class partners including dairy farmers, production facilities and distribution centers. The vast majority (more than 90 percent) of Tillamook Cheeses are made at our cheesemaking factories in Tillamook and Boardman, Oregon. A few of our other cheeses are made by industry partners outside of Oregon who have the appropriate equipment and expertise for those specific flavors. Much of our Tillamook Ice Cream is also made at our factory in Tillamook, Oregon. As we’ve reached our production capacity there, we have added some ice cream production capacity with industry partners to meet the needs of our consumers beyond the Northwest. Because of the specialty equipment required to make yogurt, sour cream, butter, and cream cheese spreads, we work with industry partners with expertise in making dairy products to make each of these products. Whenever partners are involved, we work very closely with them to approve the recipes and specifications, and the recipes for Tillamook products remain the same no matter where the product is made. And, our Tillamook quality assurance and sensory teams taste and test every Tillamook product, ensuring all of our partners meet our exact quality requirements to make products with the high standards Tillamook fans have come to expect.

Question 10

What’s the difference between your fine cut vs thick cut shredded cheese?

Accepted Answer

Our new Farmstyle Fine Cut is a great option when you are looking for increased coverage and meltability. We recommend sprinkling it on salads, tacos, baked potatoes, and other dishes as a topper. Our Farmstyle Thick Cut is great in baked dishes or can add some extra creaminess to your mac & cheese. We encourage you to try both cuts in your favorite dishes and see which one you like the best!

Question 11

What is Tillamook County Creamery Association (TCCA)?

TCCA is a farmer-owned co-op from (you guessed it!) Tillamook, Oregon. For more than 100 years, we have been committed to producing the delicious, high-quality dairy products our fans know and love.

Cheese

Accepted Answer

Tillamook Cheese does not contain any major allergens beside milk, and the cheesemaking equipment never processes any major allergens other than milk.

Question 14

Why isn’t your cheese available in my area?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, the decision about what products are carried in what stores is decided through a partnership between Tillamook and our grocery retailers. The best way to get our products in your grocery store is to ask your store manager to carry them.

Question 15

What does the code date mean on Tillamook products?

Accepted Answer

The code date is a “best by” date that reflects the freshness and quality of the product. It’s best to use the product before the code date on the package. As always, use your best judgment – if a dairy product doesn’t look, smell or taste quite right, it’s best to throw it out.

This includes swab-testing the equipment between production runs to ensure there are no allergen remnants present. 

(**Some of our ice cream flavors contain fudge pieces with highly refined peanut oil in them. This kind of oil is not considered a major allergen under federal labeling requirements, so while ‘peanut oil’ is listed under the ingredients labeling on the container, peanuts are not called out under the allergens disclaimer below. If you are unsure of the safety of this kind of highly refined peanut oil for yourself or your family, we recommend checking with a doctor.)

Question 22

Our dairy cows are not systematically given antibiotics. But, like humans, cows sometimes get sick and need veterinarian-prescribed antibiotics to help them get better. However, if a cow is receiving antibiotics, her milk isn’t used until tests prove that the antibiotics have cleared her system completely.

Are the cows in barns or pastures?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the time of year and on the farm. Many of our farmer-owners in Tillamook send their herds out to pasture when the weather permits (typically March through November), but practices vary depending on each farm’s herd, land and management style. Many of our farmers also use free-stall barns to keep their cows comfortable and protected. Free-stall barns are standard in the dairy industry to accommodate climate conditions and are used on dairies owned by our farmer-owners, as well as our contract milk suppliers. In the free-stall barns, cows get daylight and fresh air, have plenty of space to eat and exercise, and they sleep on clean, dry bedding.

However, please note the equipment used to make them occasionally processes pecans, fish, and there is coconut present in the facility as well. For all Tillamook products, there are strict GMPs (Good Manufacturing Practices) in place which are designed to prevent any cross-contamination of major allergens on shared equipment lines. This includes swab-testing the equipment between production runs to ensure there are no allergen remnants present.

Question 44

What do the cows eat?

Accepted Answer

Our farmers know that healthy cows produce the best quality milk. Proper animal care practices like providing a healthy diet benefits the farmer, cow, and ultimately you, the consumer. At each farm, an animal nutritionist helps the farmer customize a healthy diet of forages and grains for their cows that meets their requirements for health and milk production. The forage portion of a cow’s food is slightly different on each farm, but usually includes grass, alfalfa, and likely some corn silage. The grain portion is a mixture of grains, including corn and barley. Cows are also given a vitamin/mineral supplement to support long-term health. Our dairy farmers all have a commitment to quality, and that means taking good care of their cows and the land, because not only is it their livelihood, but it is also the right thing to do.

To help prevent mold from developing on sliced and shredded cheese, follow these tips: • Keep your cheese in its original package. • Wash your hands before handling. • Avoid touching the cheese that you plan on putting back in the fridge. • Don’t put your hand directly in the bag of shredded cheese; remove with a clean utensil, or pour the cheese out of the bag. • For 5-pound bags of shredded cheese, separate and store the cheese in several smaller resealable bags. • Use within 3-5 days after opening (in other words, enjoy often!)

Question 51

Do I have to store my cheese in the fridge?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Just like the milk it’s made from, Tillamook Cheese is a perishable dairy product and should always be stored in the fridge (ideally in the coldest part, around 40 degrees). You can take cheese out of the fridge up to an hour before you plan on using it, but it should be put back in the fridge immediately after you’re done. If you’re in a warm environment, cheese shouldn’t be left out for too long – the heat will change the texture and oil may develop on the outside of the cheese.

Question 52

Why did you rebuild your facility in Tillamook?

Accepted Answer

The old building for visitors in Tillamook was more than 60 years old. It held a lot of memories for us, but we are excited to have a brand new space that is bigger, more interactive, and has more unique features for our guests to enjoy. The new facility also includes much-needed “back of house” upgrades to help the Creamery run more smoothly.

Question 53

Does Tillamook Yogurt have artificial flavors or colors?

Accepted Answer

No way! https://www.tillamook.com/products/yogurt does not contain artificial colors, sweeteners, or flavors. It’s also made with milk from https://www.tillamook.com/stewardship/healthful-cows not treated with artificial growth hormones.

Question 55

Are the egg yolks in Tillamook Ice Cream pasteurized?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The egg yolks in our ice cream are pasteurized to kill any harmful bacteria.

Question 56

Do you make Bandon Cheese?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we do! Bandon is a pasteurized cheddar made with milk from cows not treated with rBST*. Through a subsidiary, we have owned the cheese factory in Bandon, Oregon and the Bandon® cheese trademark since 2000. Here’s a little more history on our relationship with Bandon® cheese if you’re interested… After the Coquille Valley Farmers Co-op became insolvent in 1986, a series of owners of the cheese factory in Bandon, Oregon struggled to profitably operate the cheese plant and store. When the owners of the cheese factory in Bandon, Oregon put the company up for sale, we believed that buying it would ensure its longevity and maintain the Oregon heritage Bandon, Oregon shares with Tillamook, Oregon. Unfortunately, as we began operating in Bandon, Oregon, we came to the realization that milk supply was not available locally in the volume or at the quality we desired, and the production facility itself was significantly below our standards for creating a consistent product. Our first step to ensure we could continue to produce Bandon® cheese safely with the quality standards we require was to move production of Bandon® cheese to our facility in Tillamook, Oregon and, later to our subsidiary, Columbia River Processing, in Boardman, Oregon. We continued to operate the visitor’s retail store in Bandon, Oregon for several years, despite declining sales, until late 2005, when dangers from the deteriorating building forced us to close it down and demolish the building. After leasing the property for many years to the City of Bandon, in 2011 the City of Bandon purchased the property where the Bandon® cheese factory once stood. We are proud to continue to honor the Bandon® cheese heritage today, by making Bandon® cheddar which is currently sold at retailers throughout Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.

*All farmers who supply milk for Bandon cheddar pledge not to use artificial growth hormones. The FDA has stated that no significant difference has been shown between milk derived from rBST treated and non-rBST treated cows.

Question 57

Are all your farms based in Tillamook, OR?

Accepted Answer

Nope! After more than 100 years and growing consumer demand for our products, we’re making more products than ever before right where it all began, and that’s in Tillamook County. But, while there’s no limit to the ingenuity, hard work and commitment of Tillamook County’s people, there is a limit to its natural resources. It’s an environmentally sensitive area and natural resources are constrained. That’s why we choose to partner with many farms of many different sizes to source the high-quality milk we use in our products. While a large dairy farm may not look the same as a much smaller one, we can assure you that every farm we work with is held to the same strict quality and animal care standards that our farmer-owners adhere to in Tillamook County. Growing our brand through strong partnerships is the way we’ve been able to sustain our farmer-owners and the farming way of life in Tillamook County for generations to come.

Question 58

Where do you ship?

Accepted Answer

At this time, we ship within the US (Hawaii and Alaska included), but are unable to ship to PO Boxes, A.P.O., DPO, or F.P.O addresses, or the US territories.

Question 59

Is your yogurt kosher?

Accepted Answer

Neither our Tillamook https://www.tillamook.com/products/yogurt/good-and-creamy nor our Tillamook https://www.tillamook.com/products/yogurt/greek is kosher certified. However, all of our yogurts are vegetarian!

Question 60

Can I freeze cheese?

Accepted Answer

(Hey, that rhymes!) Freezing Tillamook Cheese prolongs its life, but it also changes the texture of the cheese, making it dry and crumbly. Although freezing slows mold growth, it also stops the aging process of cheddar. Ideally, you should freeze the cheese in its original, unopened package. If you’ve already opened the package, wrap one pound or smaller portions in moisture-proof materials (like plastic wrap or aluminum foil) and then place it in an airtight bag. That way, you can maintain optimum flavor and texture. When you’re ready, thaw the cheese in the refrigerator with the wrapper on to prevent loss of moisture and flavor. Then eat it as soon as possible. Thawed cheese will shred easily, but it’s difficult to slice. If you plan on slicing the cheese, it’s best to do so before putting it in the freezer.

Question 61

How long will it take for my order to ship and deliver?

Accepted Answer

All online orders ship via FedEx 2-day shipping. We fulfill orders Monday through Thursday, for delivery Wednesday through Saturday. Once your order ships, you’ll get a shipping notification email with tracking information and delivery date.

Question 62

Is your ice cream kosher?

Accepted Answer
