Sant Gil Garrotxa Goat Cheese 2.2lb

A traditional goat's milk cheese produced in the Garrotxa area of Cataluna in Northern Spain, it was almost extinct until some young cheesemakers revived it in 1981. Since then it has become a popular cheese among artisanal cheesemakers. Garrotxa is a semi-firm cheese aged for 75 days. The full-bodied cheese is rich in flavor with a soft paste and a moist, creamy, yet almost flaky, texture. It is covered by a velvety grey mold coating that lends it a woody aroma. The flavor is reminiscent of damp earth underlined by slightly nutty & herbal essences. Its milky, delicate taste is not at all typical of a goat’s cheese.
