Wholesale Prairie Tomme Whole Wheel

Prairie Tomme is Green Dirt Farm’s signature hard cheese, crafted with 100% sheep’s milk and inspired by the rustic, mountain-style cheeses of Europe. If you’re familiar with the bold yet balanced character of the Pyrenees’ Idiazabal or Ossau Iraty—or Spain’s beloved Manchego—you’ll find Prairie Tomme right at home in that family of traditional sheep’s milk cheeses. Aged to develop depth and complexity, this cheese offers a firm texture with a nutty, slightly earthy flavor that lingers beautifully on the palate. This versatile cheese is a showstopper on a board. When cut into neat wedges or slender batons, Prairie Tomme provides a lovely counterpoint to soft-ripened cheeses, creating a dynamic contrast of textures and flavors. Its rustic character pairs wonderfully with dried fruits, cured meats, or a drizzle of honey, making it a natural centerpiece for gatherings and tastings. Prairie Tomme also shines in the kitchen. It melts into a luscious cheese soup, elevates a grilled cheese sandwich to pure indulgence, and grates effortlessly over pasta, roasted vegetables, or risotto. Think of it as an exciting alternative to parmesan or pecorino—similar in function, but uniquely distinguished by its origin at Green Dirt Farm, an American artisan cheesemaker dedicated to quality and sustainability. Recognized nationally, Prairie Tomme has earned multiple accolades: awards at the American Cheese Society competition in 2016 and 2017, a prestigious Good Food Award in 2018, and most impressively, 3rd Place Best in Show at the American Cheese Society in 2023—out of more than 1,400 artisanal American cheeses. Prairie Tomme is proof that Green Dirt Farm’s passion for craft and care has secured a place on the national stage. Prairie Tomme is sold as a whole wheel, with a minimum weight of 3 pounds.
