Description
Size - 225g
This ripened goats’ milk cheese is first rolled in ash, then matured to develop a complex, yet subtle flavour. The texture is like ice-cream. Luxurious grilled.
Golden Cross is made by Kevin & Alison Blunt of Golden Cross cheese in East Sussex. The farm is home to a herd of 230 Goats who are milked all year round producing the milk for this delicious, handmade, award winning cheese.
Golden Cross is modern classic and a labour of love form the Blunts who are constantly curdling, lading or salting and maturing the cheese and recently described it as a' 24/7 life'. The cheeses are lightly charcoaled prior to maturation when a velvety white penicillium mould develops on the surface. Golden cross is zingy and fresh with a velvety texture when young which become creamier and denser as it matures.
