🧡 Always love a new Goat Cheese. I think Goat is among the most versatile even though it has such strong flavor. GOAT lends itself to many different types of flavors across the board. From fruits to meats to liquor to various spices, goat accepts and graciously pairs. This one is of course remarkably delicious and another favorite. Smokey and tangy notes, make it a spectacular choice.
Description
Handcrafted at Capriole Farm in Greenville, Indiana, O’Banon is a fresh goat’s milk cheese wrapped in bourbon-soaked chestnut leaves. The striking presentation — a round of chèvre encased in deeply aromatic leaves — makes it a statement piece for gourmet boards and holiday gifting.
The flavor profile is sophisticated yet approachable: first bright, tart-fruit notes of fresh chèvre, balanced by underlying sweetness from the bourbon infusion and a subtle tannic, herbaceous edge imparted by the chestnut leaves. The texture is dense yet soft, cloud-like, thanks to Capriole’s hand-ladled curds.
Tasting Notes
Elegant fresh goat-milk flavor with a bright, clean acidity
Whisper of vanilla and bourbon warmth beneath the cream
Subtle tannic, woody nuance from the chestnut-leaf wrapping
A texture that invites slow savoring or pairing with fine beverages
