Blyth Goat Gouda

Golden Blyth Goat Gouda, from Blyth, Ontario.
Definitely our favourite of the bunch. The Blyth Farm Cheese Gouda is made from 100% Goat's milk.  Often goat's cheese is a softer cheese but this gouda is firm, salty, fragrant, and delicious. According to the description in the "Cheese of the Month" newsletter gouda is more a style of making the cheese than a recipe for a specific variety.   This example of a farm fresh, well crafted cheese explodes your palate with a sharp, tangy flavour. It's noticeably salty but not distractingly so and takes the prize as the only cheese we received that I don't want to try in any dish. I want to keep the Golden Blyth Goat Gouda as a solo act and enjoy every morsel.  It has a firm bite but then the texture turns creamy and smooth as you chow down.
Highly Recommended!

  1. Oh no! Your palate has exploded! You will not be able to taste anymore cheese.
