Unpasteurised Cathare Goat's Cheese 180g approx
Soft raw goat's cheese.
Artisan farmhouse goat's milk cheese made in the Languedoc Roussillon region of southern France, in Cathar country. Made with whole raw goat’s milk, using pre-drained salted curd. The Cathare, sometimes called Catal, has a natural, fine, delicately pleated crust. The beautiful, ashed rind is delicate and miraculously decorated with the Occitan cross. It's such a striking cheese, it's automatically the one that everybody -- young and old -- wants to try first.
On the palate, this goat cheese is fine and melting.
