Produced year round, Barn Owl is a pungent and richly-textured, washed-rind cheese.

Similar to a brie in shape, the rind of Barn Owl is a subtle mix of beige, white and yellow - reminiscent of barn owl feathers in terms of color. When young, the rind is slightly sticky due to repeated washings, but with age a secondary geotricum mold develops as a result of being cave aged. The interior texture is semi soft and a pale golden yellow color.
