Semi-hard British Goats' Cheese
Rachel has a warm reddish orange colour on the crust with a pale, supple interior and a flavour that is not overly 'goaty' but nutty and mellow. It is perfect for those who like a full flavoured cheese but who struggle with the farmy flavour of a more traditional goats' milk cheese. To help create its semi hard texture, this cheese is washed regularly in a brine solution, something far more common in cows' milk cheeses.
A colourful and tasty cheese for the contemporary cheeseboard, but also delicious melted - try putting a thin layer on the top of sliced boiled potatoes and finishing the dish in the oven. Best enjoyed with a light red wine or a real ale.
