Golden Cross

What is Golden Cross Goats’ Cheese like? Golden Cross is based on a French style of cheese but coated in ash over which an edible white mould rind develops, a fine soft texture and delicate flavour.

Where’s it from? Made by Kevin and Alison Blunt of the Golden Cross Cheese company at their farm at Whitesmith, East Sussex.

Packaging: This UNPASTEURISED cheese is wrapped as a log-shaped whole cheese of 250g.

You can buy Golden Cross in The Vegetarian Cheese Lover’s Deluxe Box, The Best Mum in the World Box and The Vegetarian Cheese Lover’s Box.

Goats Cheese Tarts are a great spring dish, light and fluffy pastry with a creamy flavour and fluffy texture. We suggest serving with a smear of olive paste or balsamic reduction and a helping of sun-ripened tomatoes.

Pistachio balls make an excellent starter, or a snack for evening entertaining. The creamy goats’ cheese compliments the savoury, salty, nutty pistachio flavours. The green colour really adds some pizzazz!
