A vegetable ashed pasteurized goat milk from Capriole Goat Cheese. Sofia takes inspiration from Loire Valley-style goat cheeses such as Valencay and Selles sur Cher, combining citrusy, salty goat milk with a vegetable-ashed geotrichum rind (the wrinkly, doughy kind). The result of a couple weeks of aging is a multi-textural treat as the once flakey paste just below the rind becomes a buttery oozing creamline. Calling this a customer favorite would be an understatement as we’ve received several notes claiming it to be “the best cheese I’ve ever tasted”. It is most certainly a case of a new world cheese surpassing its old world counterparts.

Sofia logs typically weigh 14-16 oz

Our favorite application: Less is more here…or actually better is more here. Get the best baguette you can find and grab that bottle of Chenin Blanc from the “no touching!” rack that you’ve been aging for a few years.

Tastes like: Clotted cream, lemon poundcake, fleur de sel.
