Village Green Goats Cheese


Village Green Goats cheese, with crackers

Village Green Goats Cheese is made by Cornish Country Larder at their North Bradon Farm Dairy in Somerset. It is a cheddar style cheese, but made from different milk.

This cheese is made from goat’s milk, the name gives it away, and also reflects the green wax coating that is applied to the cheese; protecting it from moisture. It is a hard cheese made from pasteurised milk and is sold in loaf shapes.

It is sold at various ages, from anywhere between 3 and 18 months, and has a white colour under the wax, with a sweet nutty flavour that becomes more pronounced as it ages.

Goats cheese has more medium chain fatty acids in and this contributes to the tart flavour of the cheese.
