Designed by chefs for chefs (originally on Zuni Cafe’s pizza menu), Wagon Wheel is forged from local, organic cow's milk and aged for a minimum of 75 days as 15-pound wheels.
Wagon Wheel’s rosy-hued rind surrounds a delightfully supple center. As a snack, delicate and nutty. When melted, it’s liquid gold: Salted brown butter, heavy cream, roasted leeks, roasted garlic.
