Day Three Hundred and Nineteen - A Cheese for a Christmas Lunch

Guess what I brought for today's Christmas lunch?

You guessed it! Cheese!

As my family tends to prefer the nuances of goat's milk cheeses, I decided to get us a cheese that we hadn't had yet. I chose a mixed milk cheese -- goat and cow's milk formed into a small bloomy round and entitled a Pearl. The Pearl is handcrafted by Seal Cove farm in Lamoine, Maine, on the way to Bar Harbor and Arcadia National Park. Seal Cove has been handcrafting French style chevre on American soil since 1976. Each cheese is infused with the fresh sea air from the rocky cliffs of Maine and the crisp green grassy notes of the pastures where their goat's graze.

Pearl is decadent yet light, a round mouth feel with the citrusy tang of a great goat's milk cheese. Perfect for a holiday celebration with a glass of bubbly.
