Lumberjack Bucheron

THE CHEESE

Lumberjack, made in the Bucheron-style, is a bloomy-rind goat's milk cheese shaped in a 2 lb. log and matured for 3-5 weeks. When young the paste is firm with a chalky, crumbly center and starts develop creaminess near the rind. The flavors are mild and tangy, with notes of citrus and some earthiness in the cream line. As the cheese ages, the cream line becomes soft and gooey and the earthy, mushroom-like flavors become more pronounced.

Add to salads, sandwiches, or with crusty bread and chutney or jams.

Pairings
