Vermont Creamery Classic Chevre Goat Cheese

What it is

This is a fresh, soft goat cheese made from pasteurized goat's milk. It has a bright, tangy flavor and a creamy, spreadable texture. The cheese is typically formed into a log or a round and is unaged, meaning it is meant to be consumed relatively soon after production. Its distinct character comes from the quality of the milk and the traditional cheesemaking methods used.

How people cook with it

This versatile cheese can be enjoyed in many ways, both sweet and savory. It melts beautifully and adds a unique flavor to dishes.

• Spread on crackers
• Melted into sauces
• Crumbled over salads
• Baked into pastries

This chevre is excellent when served at room temperature, which allows its creamy texture and delicate flavor to fully emerge. It can be spread easily onto crusty bread or crackers. For cooking, it melts wonderfully into pasta sauces, adding a rich tanginess. It also bakes well, becoming even creamier and slightly sweeter. Consider crumbling it over roasted vegetables or incorporating it into quiches and tarts for an elevated touch. Its bright taste complements both fresh herbs and robust spices.

How it differs from similar foods

Compared to cow's milk cheeses, chevre has a tangier, more pronounced flavor profile and a lighter, often softer texture. It is also naturally lower in lactose. Its distinct acidity makes it a good counterpoint to richer ingredients.

Who it is for

Home cooks and professional chefs who appreciate artisanal dairy products will find this cheese a valuable addition to their repertoire.

How to keep the rest

After opening, wrap any remaining cheese tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper and store it in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within a week to maintain its fresh flavor and creamy consistency. Avoid letting it dry out.
