Notes: This two-milk cheese is renowned for its strong, persistent, goat cheese flavor. I've had several varieties of goat cheese over the past year, and the spiky piquant tang in this cheese is pretty intense. In the foreground you have the nice, cozy nutty flavors of a good, aged cheese. But then there is this BAM of something, which I assume is goat kick. It's a good cheese, and supposedly great on sandwiches and melted over sausages.
