Goat Geiss
This unique and rare and Swiss goat’s milk cheese is made by Gourmino master cheesemaker Michael Hanke and aged in his own cellar, using a traditional alpine smear ripening technique (the same used to mature gruyere). Aged for around 3-4 months, it has an aromatic and fresh goat’s milk character with notes of lavender, white pepper, sage and sweetened condensed milk. The texture is every-so-slightly crumbly with a suppleness that yields palate. This cheese has earned a silver medal twice in 2020 and 2022 at the World Championship Cheese Contest.
A great choice for anyone seeking a non-cow’s milk hard cheese with a well-developed flavour – some find they can more easily tolerate goat’s milk cheese. This is a delightful additional to a cheese platter and is sure to be a talking point – serve with fruit and nut bread, charcoal crackers and fruit jams or honey. It can also be sliced for baguettes, salads or added to grazing boards. Pair with Sparkling wines, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio or Ciders.
