REGION: NETHERLANDS       MILK: GOAT        TREATMENT: PASTEURIZED 

This artisanal cheese has a beautiful pale, ivory color, the texture is firm and dense and the taste is smooth with a slight graininess long-aged cheeses have. As the cheese ages, protein crystals form and lend a slight crunch to the otherwise dense and smooth cheese. Midnight Moon is a gouda-style goat milk cheese that many consider the "gateway goat cheese" because of its approachable and delicious flavor that is strikingly different from fresh chevre. The wheel is finished in a beautiful black wax that accentuates the pale paste.
