GOAT LADY DAIRY -- “Cheese is milk’s leap
toward immortality…” Clifton Fadimon
It all starts with the milk…fresh from well cared for
healthy animals on local farms. At
Goat Lady Dairy we combine the milk from our own herd with several area
partner farms to make distinctive artisan products: fresh, ripened and aged goat milk cheeses,
aged raw organic cow milk cheeses, goat milk Greek style yoghurt and
Chocolate Goat Cheese Truffles.
FRESH GOAT
MILK CHEESE:
Spreadable Goat Cheese
This is the freshest cheese with the highest moisture
and lowest fat and cholesterol content. Packaged in deli-cups when only two
days old this spreadable cheese comes in many delicious flavors: Plain, Basil
& Garlic, Sunny Paris, Roasted Red Pepper, Jalapeno, Triple Heat and Fig
& Honey. Great as a snack with
crackers it is also a versatile addition to soups, pasta, pizza, baked
potatoes, etc. Our plain Spreadable Goat Cheese won a FIRST PLACE at the
1999 American Cheese Society National Competition!
Chevre Logs
Chevre Logs are hand-molded and air-dried for a week
or so to produce a sliceable consistency and slightly fuller flavor than our
Spreadable Goat Cheese. You can slice them into medallions when cold or
spread them at room temperature. This is the style of cheese used by most of
the restaurants we supply weekly. They use our Chevre Logs as a uniquely
flavorful ingredient in many gourmet dishes. Logs come plain or rolled in
peppercorns, dill, rosemary or sesame seeds.
Farmers
Cheese
This tangy cheese is like a Feta in consistency but
not as salty. Farmers Cheese slices
and crumbles for salads or with tomatoes like Mozzarella yet it retains
creaminess. Use also with egg dishes,
on pizza, casseroles, and...
Marinated Chevre
To create our special jars of Marinated Chevre we put
two-week old Chevre Log medallions in extra virgin olive oil infused with our
special blend of herbs and spices. Olive oil is the traditional and natural
way to preserve cheese. By covering the cheese and protecting it from the air,
the oil almost stops the ripening process giving this cheese a very long
shelf life. It is delicious as a gourmet spread or spooned over hot pasta to
make an instant Alfredo.
Smokey Mountain Round
A Goat Lady Dairy original, our smoked cheese is hand formed
and dried into a round and then smoked over apple wood logs. Creamy white on
the inside and toasty brown on the outside this tangy cheese must be tasted
to be understood. Great as a munchie with crackers or use it crumbled over
hot steamed vegetables, or pasta or egg dishes or pizza. Our Smoked Round was featured on the EMERIL
LIVE cooking show!
Chevre Rounds
Lovely little 4oz rounds of fresh
goat cheese are flavored, hand-formed, and dried. They crumble when cold for salads and a
tasty topping to many dishes. At room temperature
they spread on crackers or bread. Some of our favorite flavors: Spring Garden, Steve’s Curry, A Bit Blue,
Roasted Garlic & Peppercorns.
RIPENED
GOAT MILK CHEESES
Crottin
Crottin is a traditional French farmhouse cheese made
in a characteristic small round shape. Our version is the freshest mold
ripened Crottin you can buy released at only two weeks. With its snowy white
natural bloom rind and buttery flavor Goat Lady Crottin has been known to
make expatriate Frenchmen cry with memories of the homeland!
Chevre Camembert
Also a mold-ripened cheese with a white bloomy edible
rind, our Camembert has a buttery brie-like consistency with taste overtones
of wild mushrooms in the finish. It is hand ladled using the traditional
Normady methods and ripened for three to four weeks. We won 2nd place with our Chevre
Camembert at the 2000 American Cheese Society national competition.
Sandy Creek
This
unique bloomy rind, soft-ripened cheese is marbled with vegetable ash like
many famous French goat cheeses. It is
ripened for four to five weeks to develop smooth texture and complex flavors
including a bit of blue in the finish. A Goat Lady original, this cheese is named after a famous stream that
flows near our farm.
AGED CHEESES
Gray’s Chapel
Named
after our rural neighborhood, this mixed milk cheese is a combination of our
goat milk and local cow milk. Made in an
8 lb. wheel and aged for 4 to 6 months this semi-hard cheese with natural
rind has a unique combination of tangy and nutty flavors.
Old Liberty
Named
after the road in front of our barn, this special cheese is made from 100%
organic cow milk from our neighbors at Lindale Organic Dairy. A natural rind, semi-hard cheese made in a
6 lb square this raw milk cheese is aged 2 to 5 months. Intense earthy aroma and flavors of butter
and fruit make this limited edition cheese a taste to remember.
Other Products
Tango
This tangy Greek style goat milk
cultured dairy product is drained overnight for extra thickness and lemony
flavor. It is made from ONLY fresh goat milk with no added thickeners,
flavorings or preservatives. It contains the live pro-biotic cultures so
beneficial to good digestion and health. Use it like yoghurt, sour cream or buttermilk on granola, to make
smoothies, biscuits, pancakes, or topping for baked potatoes, taco salad,
quesadillas, and…
Chocolate Goat
Cheese Truffles
Ordinarily chocolate truffles are made with eggs or
cream or butter. Instead of these we only use our fresh spreadable goat
cheese (so lower in fat and cholesterol) blended with semi-sweet chocolate
and coated in Dutch cocoa to make an extra-ordinary delight tasting somewhere
between fudge and cheesecake.
PLEASE NOTE: All our cheeses are available in limited
quantities. We make them fresh on different days as seasonal ingredients and
conditions allow. The same qualities that give our artisan cheese its
special, unique taste make it a delicate, perishable food. We may not be able
to fill your order right away. Thank you for understanding.
