Squeaky Cheese Day

Thank you to everyone who participated in Squeaky Cheese Day on February 13th, 2013! Squeaky Cheese day benefited the Oregon Food Bank in support of hunger relief.

Squeaky Cheese Curds will ship on a different schedule from other items on the Tillamook Shop because of their special shipping needs. If you are purchasing additional items in your order, they will ship separately on our regular schedule. You will receive a confirmation email in 2-5 weeks when your cheese curds have shipped.

Unfortunately, due to the complications of shipping such a perishable product, we are unable to guarantee that your curds will squeak upon arrival and we cannot replace any packages of cheese curds. Please Contact Us with any questions!

Squeaky Cheese Day only lasts for one day, but you can get curds at the Tillamook Cheese Factory all year. Learn more about what goes into Squeaky Cheese Day here!
