Goat's Milk Cheeses
BESACE du BERGER
Raw Goat's Milk Animal Rennet from Périgord-Saint-Beauzeil, France Fromagerie Chèvrefeuille pair with... Light dry whites (Vouvray, Pinot Gris) Dome shaped and moulded in fine muslin, covered with ash, the flavours are clean, crisp and rich. The texture is smooth and spreadable. This is a fresh cheese, so it is best eaten young. |
BONNE BOUCHE
Pasteurised Goat's Milk Microbial Rennet from Websterville, Vermont Vermont Creamery pair with... Sauvignon Blanc, Champagne (when young), Sancerre, Falanghina VC's flagship cheese is one of its best. The small format and light ash dusting have helped win it numerous awards and much praise and prestige. As with the French cheeses it imitates, the mild, almost milky flavour develops over time to a rather piquant and robust cheese with a firmer paste over time. Pick your Bouche at whichever ripeness suites you best. |
CABRICHARME

Raw Goat's Milk Animal Rennet from Piedmont, Italy Luigi Guffanti pair with... Lagers, Marmalade, Maschitano Bianco Fresh, citric goat's cheese is covered (by us) in seasonal herbs and flowers, which imbue their unique scents and flavours to the luscious paste. Seasonal. |
COUPOLE

SAINTE-MAURE AOC
BUCHE de TOURAINE Pasteurised Goat's Milk Animal Rennet from Touraine, France Various pair with... Fumé, Sancerres, Chinon Blanc, Bruts, Pale Ales, Weisses This cheeses ages quickly and the resulting flavours and textures vary respectively; there is always a lovely tang (which can become quite pronounced) from the goat's milk and underpinnings of nuttiness and a slightly bitter edge. Young Buche is soft and supple; when older it gets snowy and dense. |
SOFIA
Pasteurised Goat's Milk Animal Rennet from Greenville, Indiana Capriole Dairy pair with... Sauvignon Blanc and Dusty Ales on the savoury side; for dessert, a lovely Sauternes or Sherry is perfect.
