Is that grey log a fossil cheese???

Is that grey log a fossil cheese???

That is an absolutely delicious goat's milk cheese. It's formed around a stalk of straw and coated in ash.

The other two are Brie and Roquefort (Societé before any nerd asks which cave )

"...COATED WITH ASH." ??!?!?!?!? Doesn't it taste gritty and burnt?????

 

[Moozillion]

I'm not good at waiting....I'll go find something to do and check back in an hour...

The only goat's milk cheese I've ever had tasted VERY strong and ... I guess, GOATY. Didn't like it AT. ALL.
I've had sheep's cheese at middle eastern restaurants: Halloumi, which is salty but drenched in olive oil and garlic! Mighty good!!!!

No pressure, @Tidgy’s Dad. No pressure. Tick tock....

I love goat, meat and milk. Still prefer cow milk-based cheeses.

Where is Zak ? I hope he don`t lost his way or had been eaten by a camel who liked his legs too much .....

He's here!
Just been doing the photos of the draw!

Yes! It's all edible apart from the straw

There is a lot of variation, just like with cow cheeses. Some are terrible. This one isn't

Seriously????? It's difficult to think of ash as being tasty...

 

[JoesMum]

Seriously. The ash is a very thin layer and adds to the flavour of the cheese.

 

[JSWallace]

Hmmm, am I invited ?

That looks like a very civilised evening! What's the blue cheese?
