IQF Ripened Goat Cheese

IQF ripened Goat Cheese is a fresh cheese made from pasteurized goat’s milk.

Appearance	paste is stark white and closed, smooth with no opening in an edible bloomy white mould rind
Texture (defrosted)	soft and grainy
Slice weight	6, 16, 60 or 90g (tailor made on existing diameters)
Slice dimensions	Ø 42, 70 or 90 mm
Taste	medium strong, typical of goat’s cheese
Ingredients	pasteurized goat’s milk, lactic cultures, microbial rennet, salt, penicillium candidum

Fresh curd is shaped into logs and ripened in special chambers for a minimum of 11 days when the typical white mould sets on the cheese surface. Logs are then cut to precision for consistent weight and slices quick frozen individually to stop the ageing process.

The slices are chunky and tasty, tailored as an ideal ingredient for natural chilled or baked applications. When baked the mellow center will melt nicely contained within the more consistent chewy rind.
