Why Add Goat’s Cheese to a Cheeseboard?
Goat’s cheese can bring a tangier flavour and a different texture to a board dominated by cow’s-milk cheeses. Depending on the style, it may be fresh and creamy, ash-coated, soft-ripened or firmer and more developed.
Because goat’s cheeses vary so widely, consider the individual product rather than assuming they will all taste alike. A mixed board only needs one goat’s cheese when cheddar, soft and blue styles are already represented.
