Chevrano XO 12 Months Black Wax (Approx Wedge 1.5kg)

Milk: Goat (Pasteurised)
Country: The Netherlands

There is so much to be said for the proper aging of cheese. This
delicious ivory-white aged goats’ milk cheese is matured by
multigenerational farmhouse cheesemakers and affineurs Van
der Heiden in Krimpenerwaard south of Gouda. The cheese is
made from the milk of pastured goats and is matured for at
least 12 months on pine boards. When mature the 5kg wheels
are bound in cloth and sealed in wax.
It is semi hard yet still cuts well without crumbling. It has a
smooth texture with the occasional calcium lactate crystal. The
characteristic aromas of goat cheese give way to hints of
caramel and floral notes. It has a clean finish in the mouth.
This is an ideal cheese to serve after a meal on a cheeseboard or
with a salad. Use grated instead of pecorino, add to a cheese
toasty and is good with flinty sauvignon blanc or a Dutch lager.
