Cerney Goat's Cheese

A subtle citrus flavoured aromatic unpasteurised goat's milk cheese with a delicate, light texture similar to fromage frais. Cerney Goat's Cheese is a locally produced French-style cheese made in Gloucestershire, it is made in individual pyramid shapes and dusted with ash which provides an interesting contrast against the white cheese. Cerney Goat's Cheese won the Supreme Champion gold medal at the British Cheese Awards in 2001. The cheese is hand-made by Marion Conisbee-Smith from a recipe developed by Lady Angus of Cerney House, North Cerney near Cirencester. It is suitable for vegetarians and is available from the service counter at selected branches of Waitrose.
Uses: Serve the cheese simply, with bread or biscuits and grapes.
To eat: If serving on a cheeseboard, remove the cheese from the fridge an hour before serving, to allow it to come to room temperature and to develop its full texture and flavour.
