Laura Chenel's Pure Goat Milk Cheese
What it is
This is a fresh cheese made exclusively from pure goat milk. It has a soft, spreadable texture and a mild, slightly tangy flavor characteristic of goat cheese. The cheese is unripened, meaning it is not aged and is meant to be consumed relatively soon after production. Its simple composition highlights the natural taste of the goat milk.
How people cook with it
This versatile cheese is excellent for both sweet and savory applications. It can be enjoyed on its own or incorporated into various dishes.
- Spread on crackers
- Mixed into dips
- Dolloped on salads
- Baked into pastries
For a simple snack, spread this cheese generously on your favorite crackers or slices of toasted bread. It blends beautifully into creamy dips and salad dressings, adding a subtle tang and richness. When baking, it can be incorporated into quiches, tarts, or even sweet cheesecakes for a unique flavor profile. Its soft texture makes it easy to mix and incorporate into batters and fillings, offering a delightful creaminess.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike aged goat cheeses, this fresh variety is not firm or crumbly. Its texture is much softer and more spreadable, and its flavor is brighter and less complex than aged varieties. The absence of aging means its taste is a purer expression of the goat milk.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs appreciate this cheese for its fresh flavor and adaptability in the kitchen.
How to keep the rest
To maintain its freshness, keep the cheese tightly wrapped in its original packaging or in an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator. Consume the remaining cheese within a few days of opening for the best quality and flavor.
