Last week, I discovered a new cheese in the Consider Bardwell repertoire --- well more rather a cheese I hadn't tried yet and boy was I impressed! Equinox is a raw goat's milk cheese that has been aged for close to a year and is firm, salty, savory, crumbly and fabulous. It packs the classic goat cheese notes -- grassy, citrusy, clean, and fresh but with the age to stand up to some of the great Italian hard guys -- Parmesans and Piaves for example.
In case you aren't familiar, Consider Bardwell farm is located in the Champlain Valley in Vermont; it is actually the site of the first cheese dairy in Vermont. The farm now produces an outstanding mixture of cheeses utilizing goat and some cow milk...If you haven't tried a Consider Bardwell cheese, you must! I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
