Proudly introducing, for summer 2020, "The Big Softy"
This cheese is made from milk sustainably produced by Lamancha (and Lamancha crossed with Nubian) dairy goats in Southern Indiana. These goats are fed high quality feed, alfalfa and free choice Timothy - Orchard grass hay, as well as having access to pasture and forage at least 12 hours a day. These does produce milk that is creamy and tastes of toasted grains and green grass, with no undesirable off flavors. Along with a high fat and protein content it is ideal for making cheese.
The Big Softy cheese was developed as a soft cheese that is créme fraiche-like with a smooth texture and rich flavor. It is a cheese so fresh that the whey may still be seeping from the cheese. Samples of the cheese have been described as, “ mild, creamy, sweet, buttery, and decadent”. It is a versatile cheese that can be eaten on its own, enhanced with savory or sweet flavors or added to other dishes. Suggestions for use include serving on crackers; spreading on bagels; enhancing with dried herbs, gourmet salts, olives or honey; sprinkling on salads; or stuffing into meats and tortillas. It’s use is only limited by your imagination!
