Cheese, Bearded Lady (Prodigal Farm, NC)
Orrmans Cheese Shop



Bearded Lady is an all-goat's-milk cheese with a beautiful ruffled rind. She's won multiple national awards. Before we start aging it, we rub the little cheeses down with a mixture of whey, blue cultures and vegetable ash. It doesn’t taste like a blue, however. It has a cloudlike texture, and a light flavor with a distant bacon backnote that pairs beautifully with a cider, a crisp light ale, a dry Riesling, or a rose. You can let it continue to mature in your fridge and watch the creamline under the rind widen, then pair it with a medium-bodied red. Recent customer comment: "I love the rind! It's delicious too!"
