Made in a 1 lb triangular log, this aged goat cheese is a double rind cheese. It is covered with a layer of ash, and then allowed to bloom with an edible white mold of Penicillium candidum. When young, the interior will be slightly fudgy and firm. As it ages, the cheese ripens from the exterior towards the center, becoming creamy and smooth in texture. When ripe, it should have a combination of both these characteristics, runny toward the rind and firm toward the interior. The flavor when fresh is tangy and light, growing more complex and strong with age, well balanced, with full and even sharp but not pungent flavors.
