Tillamook Sharp Cheddar in OC???

Unable to find Tillamook Sharp Cheddar (red wrapper) in OC for a while now... usually easily gettable at Costco in a 2.5 lb. brick.

Anyone have an OC source??? (Doesn't have to be Costco-sized!) Thanks in advance!!!

            Yeah, I bought some at Wholesome Choice in Irvine on Saturday. They have mild, medium, sharp, and extra-sharp.

            i'm in seattle for the weekend and they had the tillamook sharp cheddar at the local costco. i bought a brick to bring back to la. lols.

            if costco has it, i figure tillamook is releasing the latest batch of the cheese.

                Yes, I've seen the white cheddar (black wrapper); I'm after the regular sharp. But thanks anyways!

                Ha! Coincidentally, I was just up at the Tillamook factory in Oregon and asked that very question - seems that all LA markets are clean out. They told me that they are actually completely sold out of the sharp cheddar, but expect to have their newly aged batch ready by July 1. If it's any comfort, the store in the factory also did not have any sharp cheddar available either.

                  Wow, sold out? Sounds like it'll be back, though, which is the important thing. Thanks!

                    Did you try their ice cream? It has got to be the richest in the world! It's been about 15 years since our last time and I can still recall that creamy goodness! YUM!

                      We were wondering why we can't find it anywhere and hoped they had not stopped making it. Good to know it is coming back.

                      Saw it at Wholesome Choice the other day.

                        Well, that'd be easy enough. Will look on my next trip.

                        Thanks!
