This past weekend Charuth from Dutch Girl Creamery in Lincoln, NE came to the shop with her cheesey partner in crime Krista from Branched Oak Farm also in LIncoln. Charuth has a lovely fresh goat cheese. The plain unadorned cheese is delicious. The right amount of tang, slightly crumbly, but not dry. Delicious! But when she adds herbs (rosemary, chives, pink peppercorns) to it it's even nicer. My plans are to buy one of these guys and put it into a delicious spring salad. Being a cheesemonger has benefits. Tasty ones.
This is a lovely little treat. One of the (many many many) benefits of working with the cheesemaker is that often times they will bring tasty nibblettes for you. Charuth brought us some of her 4 month old raw goat's milk Tomme. The outside is coated in vegetable ash. This cheese is insanely tasty. If you're ever had Garrotxa, this is similar in flavor. Just better. Am I biased towards this cheese because I met Charuth and think she's an awesome rocking chick? Abso-freaking-lutely. She's a great woman, and a fantastic cheesemaker! My job is kind of awesome!
