This luscious lactic-set goat milk cheese relies on the natural lactic acid and bacteria present in the milk to coagulate into solid curds, rather than using rennet. This method results in a more delicate curd and allows for greater seasonal variation. Crafting this style of cheese requires high-quality milk and exceptional skill, both of which are abundant at Blakesville Creamery.
