Cheese Name: Goat Cheese |
|
Description: Goat cheese is a category of cheeses that includes multiple varietals, styles, and types. In the US, the most common form of goat cheese is a soft, almost spreadable pure white cheese. This goat cheese is not aged and should have the fresh taste of springtime in it.
Look for producers who pasture graze the goats.
Goat cheese is lower in fat and cholesterol than most cow's milk cheeses, and many people who are lactose-intolerant can eat goat cheese without a problem. |

Cheese Name: Gruyere |
|
Description: Dark yellow, and slightly grainy, this semi-hard cheese is often used for melting (it is the main ingredient of that decadent gem known as fondue!). It is recognizable by the tiny holes in its brown rind. Gruyere is made in the mountains of Switzerland, and cave aged for a year. Its taste can range from fruity to a wonderful toasted almond flavor. |
