A pudgy, unctuous, washed-rind cheese that is one part cauliflower and one part peanut butter. The vonTrapp family (of The Sound of Music fame) settled in Vermont's Mad River Valle y, and started their certified organic cow dairy in 1959. Oma is named for Sebastian vonTrapp's grandmother (Oma is Austrian for grandmother), and the cheeses are bathed in a salt water brine twice weekly. Oma is the perfect mouthful of pungent, salty, barnyard goodness. Aged for 2 to 3 months. Recent Awards: ACS 2026 2nd Place, Soft-Ripened Washed Rind Can't get enough Oma?
