If you’re going to San Fransisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair-of course, and also stop by a very famous little fromagerie. Cowgirl Creamery is a gem. It’s a quaint little European style cheese shop with some amazing cheese mongers-super friendly. They will welcome you with open arms and practically baptize you in triple crème.
I tried a few of their cheeses and really liked the MT Tam, its a triple-cream and is absolute buttery deliciousness. For the braver palettes out there, Red Hawk is a tenacious stinky wash rind that will knock your socks off-or smell quite close to them. My favorite of the day was St Pat, whole milk rounds wrapped in stinging nettles (no fear, once frozen they lose their bite). It had the most luxurious mushroom-meets-yeast flavor, think: fresh dough wrapped and buried in soil-if you're into that kind of thing. I am.
The fact that Cowgirl is right next door to Acme Bread Company makes it complete perfection. It took a lot of self control to wait until I got back to my hotel room, within minutes I devoured my entire purchase-with some help, but of course. They are located in the Ferry Building Marketplace and are surrounded by other charming little shops. A must-do on your next visit to the glorious SF.
