Murray's
| Murray's Honey Goat Gouda is a semi-hard, artisanal Dutch-style cheese made from pasteurized goat's milk, aged 4-6 months. Uniquely, honey is infused into the curd and used to wash the wheels during aging, creating a distinct flavor profile featuring roasted cashews, caramel, and mild sweetness with subdued goat tang. It uses microbial vegetarian rennet and has a dense, smooth texture with a wax rind. The cheese pairs well with crisp white wines, light reds, and certain beers, and is complemented by fruits, nuts, and rye crackers. Originating mainly from the Netherlands, it's accessible to those sensitive to strong goat cheese flavors. | |
