I hate to sound cheesy, but...

GIVEAWAY  NOW CLOSED

Remember how I love Tillamook cheese? And, do you remember how my husband and I actually named our dog "Tilly" after our favorite cheese? You don't remember that? Well, we did. And she is cute as a button. I imagine it's because she is named after something so wonderful.
Anyway, as it turns out, Tillamook Cheese just earned title of the World's Best Medium Cheddar. Can you believe that? Tillamook is the best in the WORLD. Of course, I wasn't surprised. Once you taste it you will be hooked for life.

In honor of the big win, Tillamook offered to let me review their cheese and post about it on my blog! Not only that, but I get to give one of YOU a prize pack, as well. I have never been so excited. I know, it has nothing to do with what I blog about, but it's really that good that I just had to post about it.

When my cheese coupons came in the mail, I literally did a little dance. I could live off this stuff. Not only did they give me coupons for the best cheese in the world, they gave me a cheese cutter and a heart sandwich cutter. I especially enjoy the cheese cutter, mainly because I can't cut a straight piece to save my life! I'm embarrassed to tell you that my cheese loaf is already almost gone. Oh well! It was worth the calories.

Want to win your own little prize pack (cheese coupons, cheese cutter, and heart cutter)? Just leave a comment on this post, and you could be the big winner! U.S. residents only, please.

Be sure to "like" Tillamook cheese on Facebook and follow them on Twitter! They post lots of interesting facts (like, the fact that they love their cows and don't give them any hormones)....You'll "loaf" your cheese even MORE after you get to know them better.

Alrighty, that's all! Be sure to enter. You won't be disappointed.

Congrats to the winner of this giveaway, Jfisch! Comment number 58.

Sheryl and Ben

We're huge Tillamook cheese fans at my house! My husband won't eat any other cheddar unless it's Tillamook. I agree with you, it's the best in the world! :)

Kelly

Love the Tillamook. We can get their cheese where we live, but unfortunately I've never found their yogurt. I have to wait until I go to Montana for work to enjoy that delicious treat. It is wonderful.

Great pug, too. As a pug owner myself, I approve.

Libby's Library

That is the sweetest little pugger - I have a fawn and have always wanted a black one...they are like potato chips... you can't stop at one!

I love cheese - so I would love to win. Who cares about calories. I figure that if I ever get caught in a snowstorm or get lost in the woods, I'll survive a lot longer because of my extra fat! LOL

Emily Love

I've never had their cheese, but I've also never met a cheese I didn't like! I'm vegetarian (if it wasn't for cheese, I'd be vegan) so I'm 100% for no hormones!

I love cheese! My husband loves it even more. Delish!

Donna

when my husband was a small child his parents took him to the cheese factory. After we got married and had kids thats all he could talk about was the free cheese they gave out at the cheese factory and how he wanted his kids to get to go there someday. Well the navy moved us to WA state and one weekend we decided to go visit "his" cheese factory. I kept teasing him that things are huge when you are a child and it was probably some little factory and here we are driving hours and hours to go eat cheese. Well we got there it was a lot of fun. From the huge boat out front and the samples of free cheese. My husband and kiddos were happy. Who knew they also make awesome ice cream! I will remember that trip for ever and hope my children someday will take their kiddos to their daddy's childhood cheese factory! Love Tillamook cheese!!!

Alea

Mmmm... There are a few staples I could not live without: butter, ketchup and cheese!!!! I love cheese so much, especially delicious Tillamook cheese. I cannot be the one to grate cheese for a meal because I will eat half of it.

Amy Lindstrom ~ YourLifeUncommon.com

My hubby claims a dairy allergy. Thus, in an attempt to support I swore off cheese with him....for a day! I NEED IT! :)

Did you know cheese is the most addictive substance on earth?! It is true! Tillamook....probably in the entire universe! I agree...IT IS THE BEST!

So pick me...Ok.

Thanks! Really!

twelvedaysold

I remember when you mentioned Tillamook cheese! Because I live in Portland, OR and my husband and I take trips to the cheese factory for fun. Because we are party animals.

But I was going to say that I didn't realize people everywhere else knew about our beloved Tillamook cheese! I would love to win the prize. Go ahead and just choose my comment, would you? :)

Jami Schoettler

I LOVE this cheese!

Kari

I love Tillamook Cheese - we have been going there forever but this summer i went three times because my daughter had camp at Rockaway beach. I love their extra sharp aged white cheddar (and their new black pepper) but our 'everyday" cheese is their now award winning med. cheddar. We go thru two pounds a week....Awesome - glad there is fellow cheese heads out there. I hope we win...

Before The Dawn

I don't think I have had their cheese before. I love cheese and slicing off pieces from a block (that's what we call 'em!) to munch on. I must have hubbs bring me home some of this famous cheese, if he can find it!

Heather Feather

Pick me pick me! I love cheese!

scrapcraft

I love cheese and so does my son. I have always thought about getting a cheese cutter. Your dog is super cute!

Tanya

My hubby actually asks me to put some slices of that cheese in his lunch every day. Would be sweet to bag some heart shaped slices to surprise him:)

christine

best cheese ever!

Talen and Amber

Tillamook cheese is the absolute best...and FREE Tillamook cheese is even better!! Thanks!!!!

Ty & Andi

grew up on tilamook but have had a hard time finding it in very many stores here in the south!

Cynthia

Love Tillamook! And a cheese cutter would be fantastic-like you my slices are never straight and I always end up with diagonal cut cheese. :)
cynthiabrowneller (at) gmail.com

Heidi V

I actually am one of those rare people who hates cheese....however that has not been passed on in my family. My hubby and two sons are cheese monsters so I would love to win this for them!

Laura

Tillamook cheese IS the BEST! We don't buy anything else! Our family of 7 can go through a 2 pounder in such a short time, it's embarrassing. I need to check out their website - maybe they've got a cute t-shirt or something I could advertise for them...LOVE the medium cheddar - and the pepperjack is worthy of a swoon too!

Peace.Love.Life...in Arizona.

Cheese me up, please!

2tontansy

I like you am in love with Tillamook. It was all I bought until I had kids and quit my job to stay home with them. I can still afford their butter. If you like their cheese, you're going to love their butter too! BTW my little sister went to their factory and did a tour. She says their ice cream is to DIE for!

Sascha

I eat the shit out of that cheese! Seriously, I buy big blocks of it and eat it daily.

Lauren Bird

I am a big dog lover and just got a new chocolate lab puppy :) Cute dog and I love your site. I love your blog. I just stumbled upon it. I am now a follower.

Born and raised in Portland and have taken many trips out to the Factory. Now that I live in Texas it is way more expensive, but totally worth it. If it's possible to be a cheese 'brand' snob, then that's me and thank goodness they have it here...especially at Costco! Love the humor and great ideas.

SweetAbbs

I know this is closed but I'm commenting anyway to say that I think its hilarious that you named your dog after Tilamook. I loooooove Tilamook. My mom bought it all the time when I was in high school and when I was in college I was too poor to afford it so whenever I went home for the weekend my mom would have a loaf for me to take back with me. Ah! Yum.
