Milk — Alpine, Saanen, & Toggenburg Goats
Rennet — Animal Rennet
The little cheese with a big complex. The Little Napoleon is made by very gently hand-ladling goat’s milk curd into molds to allow for proper drainage and the fullest flavor development. This small, mold-ripened goat cheese has a butter colored geotrichum candidum mold rind, which develops slight blue mottling with age. When very young (two weeks) this cheese has a soft creamy texture and a gently acidic flavor. As it reaches middle age (two to three weeks) the cheese is semi-firm and develops a full, savory flavor. At one month, the cheese is firm to hard with a pungent goat flavor, and is absolutely wonderful crumbled over a spring green salad.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
The Little Napoleon is excellent on crusty French bread, toast points or crackers and goes well with just a touch of sweet, like a fig jam or chutney. It is at its best if warmed slightly in the oven to accentuate the savory flavor.
Creamery Tour!
There’s no better way to learn about our cheese than to spend a Sunday hour with us and tour the Creamery. We’ll give you a bit of lore before delving in to some of the science behind cheesemaking, the styles we employ, the milks we use, and see some live mozzarella and gelato-making before tasting ensues. The Tour is always free for our wholesale customers and an alternative day or time could likely be arranged.
Interested in carrying Creamery Cheeses and Gelato?
We ship cheese all over the country. If you’d like to get some tastes to share with your staff, feel free to drop me a line to arrange a shipment.
