Tillamook

Coastal Oregon creamery

Tillamook is a coastal county and town in northwestern Oregon, known primarily for its dairy industry.

The Tillamook County Creamery Association produces cheese, ice cream, and other dairy products sold nationally under the Tillamook brand: I picked up some Tillamook cheddar at the store.

The name comes from the Tillamook people, a Native American tribe indigenous to the region.
