Granja dos Moinhos Cabrambert Soft Goat's Milk Cheese

Cabrambert is a soft goat's milk cheese from Granja dos Moinhos, a small cheese farm in the Ribatejo, Portugal. As the name hints, it is a goat's milk answer to Camembert: a soft round that you open warm from the counter and spread on good bread.

Flavour and texture

Soft-ripened cheeses of this kind have a thin bloomy rind and a paste that turns creamy from the edge inwards as they ripen. Goat's milk gives a fresh, slightly tangy taste and a clean white colour, lighter than a cow's milk Camembert.

Food pairing

Serve it at room temperature with crusty bread, sliced pear or fig jam. Bake it whole for ten minutes with a drizzle of honey and thyme. For wine, a crisp Vinho Verde Alvarinho or a Bucelas Arinto cuts through the cream, and a light Lisboa red also works.
