Why Are They So Mean To Me?

Goats get a bad wrap in my opinion. When you care for goats correctly, they are social and loyal and produce sweet, creamy milk with no gamey taints and this sets the platform for great cheese. Sèvre & Belle from the French Atlantic coast love their goats and are rewarded with 'Le Chevrot' being a marvellously yeasty soft goats style. The cheese has that distinct 'brainy' creamy yellow rind that is typical of geotricum moulds, which slowly softens the rind without making it go runny. Perfect dessert or aperitif.

Stracchino like Mama made

This soft cooking cheese is actually the base curd for Talleggio and Gorgonzolla, so if you buy the same brand of all three Italian styles of cheese, they should fundamentally taste the same. While not a common cheese in Australia Stracchino when melted will make any pasta rich and creamy. Binnorie Dairy in the Hunter Valley has recently introduced Stracchino to its mix of cheeses.
