The name might be silly, but this stunning, soft and delicate goat cheese – inspired by the legendary Chabichou du Poitou – is anything but. Like its famed French cousin, this Wisconsin cheese is enveloped by a thin, wrinkly rind, and as it ages a gooey, luscious creamline develops underneath. The paste is incredibly light and clay-like, with a flavor that’s earthy, grassy, citrusy, and mineraly, without the pronounced tang of a fresh goat cheese.
It’s best enjoyed on its own or with a drizzle of wildflower honey or fruit preserves for a perfect sweet-savory balance. For savory pairings, add to a charcuterie board with prosciutto and Marcona almonds.
Blakesville Creamery, founded in 2020 in Port Washington, Wisconsin, specializes in premium artisan goat cheese. As a farmstead operation, they craft every cheese by hand using milk sourced directly from their own herd. Their modern 10,000-square-foot creamery blends innovation with traditional cheesemaking methods.
