August Cheese of the Month – The City Goat
MILK Goat
RENNET Animal Rennet
INGREDIENTS Pasteurized goat’s milk
The City Goat is our version of the traditional fresh chevre round. Made from the freshest local goat’s milk we could source and ladled by hand to maintain the delicate texture and flavor. We use long sets and slower, low-temp pasteurization to help develop a crisp clean flavor that finishes with a slight lemony tang.
This amazingly simple but versatile cheese is practically limitless in its applications. For an easy appetizer, try rolling the sides in freshly chopped rosemary, tarragon, or cracked peppercorns. It is also very good with roasted red pepper and pesto, or for a Mediterranean experience, try it with honey and toasted almonds. For some other tantalizing ideas, check out our Facebook page, submitted my our fans.
All month long you can take a $1-off every round at the Deli or Creamery!

Culture Magazine: The Word on Cheese!
If you aren’t familiar with this publication, Culture magazine is one of the oldest dedicated to the art of cheesemaking. They have published countless articles that are worthy of being in queue on any cheese-lover’s reading list. Earlier this year, Matt Rubiner of Rubiner’s Cheesemongors & Grocers in Great Barrington, MA came out to spend some time with us and wrote a great article on his adventures with the Creamery. Filled with drool-inducing shots of cheese and some expert wordsmithing, I’d love to invite you all to read the full piece.
Culture was kind enough to post a PDF of the article for you to download if you’d like to check it out. Thanks, guys!
Who We Are
Zingerman’s Creamery is dedicated to crafting handmade cheeses and gelato using traditional methods to both honor the rich tradition of the art of cheesemaking and create the most full-flavored products we can. Using local milk from both Calder Dairyand Green Meadow Dairy, low-temperature pasteurization, and lots of time to draw out and enhance the amazing flavors of the milk, we make our products to-order every week for our wholesale customers and our Cheese Shop.
We think all of that adds up to cheese and gelato with flavor that truly stands out. But while we may think you can really taste the difference, the only taste that truly matters is your own. We’d love to share a taste of what is exciting us for the day, or something that looks intriguing to you, whatever it is, everything you buy from us is 100% guaranteed. If you aren’t happy with your purchase, just let us know and we’ll get you another slice or scoop on us, or refund your hard-earned cash!
