I recently received a box of my all-time favorite cheese, Cowgirl Creamery Mt Tam Artisan Organic cheese. I've been a Mt Tam groupie ever since my first bite more than a decade ago. It reminds me of the cheese my mama used to make for us during my childhood on our dairy farm. You can taste California and love in every bite. 

Trying to develop a fabulous spicy recipe to honor Mt Tam was way more challenging than I expected. I knew it's flavor paired with some of my favorite peppers, or chorizo would be a home run. But what I didn't realize was how it melted. It's triple cream luxurious texture melts when you heat it. Recipe after recipe and technique after technique left me with baking pans and skillets of dissolved, butter-like substance. And then I had to throw it out because I couldn't get it to return to its original texture after it cooled. It hurt me to waste it.

 I finally gave up my attempts to cook with it and instead decided to explore spicy pairings. The final recipe had to be easy, using real ingredients and complementing Mt Tam's outstanding flavor. 

And during my explorations, a winner soon emerged! Our magical spicy mango salsa paired with Mt Tam is real food perfection! Mangos' sweetness with their celebratory vibe, cilantro, jalapeños, serranos, fresh lime juice with triple cream deliciousness is completely next level for any salsa cheese lover! I'm thrilled to share this recipe with you! And I hope my all-time favorite cheese and my beloved spicy mango salsa will bring you joy one savory, sweet, creamy bite at a time!
