Hey all you cheese fans. Heads up, the Spanish Goat Cheese Monte Enbro is tasting at it’s best right now. Come by and ask for a sample and don’t forget to take a piece home with you.
Monte Enebro is handmade in Avila, Spain, by legendary cheesemaker Rafael Baez and his daughter Paloma. The Baezs make their complex goat’s milk cheese from pasteurized milk and innoculate the logs with the same mold used to make Roquefort, adding to Monte Enebro’s complexity and distinctive appearance.
Right now the texture we have at ET is dense but creamy in the finish. The flavors are musky and earthy and oh so yummy. The rind is edible, but taste a small bit of it to check for bitterness.
BTW, the Intro to Goat class this past weekend has been post poned, keep an eye for a new date to be posted.
