Cougar Cheese - WSU Creamery - Washington State University
During the 1930s, the WSU Creamery was looking for different ways to store cheese. At that time, plastic packaging materials were not yet invented, and wax packaging was sometimes prone to cracking, which led to contamination. This led the Creamery to explore the use of cans as a storage option. One of the cheeses that resulted from this research was Cougar Gold, and the tradition of storing cheese in cans continues to this day.
The mission of the WSU Creamery is to provide teaching and research opportunities to the university community and the dairy industry. Additionally, the creamery aims to offer excellent work experience to student employees and provide financial support to students and university operations. This mission is achieved by consistently providing safe dairy products of exceptional quality, along with outstanding customer service.

WSU cougar gold cheddar - Our most famous and popular cheese has won several national and international awards. It's a rich, white cheddar with a smooth, firm texture that comes in our famous 30 oz can. Upon arrival, we recommend refrigerating it immediately.
This unique cheddar has a depth and intensity that most people have never experienced before. Its creamy, lingering flavor will leave you wanting more! Our current stock of Cougar Gold is just over one year old.
We suggest that you buy two and store one for aging, as it becomes more sharp and crumbly with age, and develops crystals throughout, which can give it a crunch. Note that aging it for 5 years will result in amazing cheese!
