Capriole Goat Cheese
Capriole Goat Cheese is a type of goat cheese produced by Capriole, Inc., a renowned artisanal cheese company based in Greenville, Indiana. The company is known for its high-quality, handcrafted cheeses made from the milk of their own herd of goats.
History[edit | edit source]
Capriole, Inc. was founded in 1988 by Judy Schad, who began making cheese on her family farm. Over the years, the company has grown significantly, gaining a reputation for producing some of the finest goat cheeses in the United States. The farm and creamery are located in the rolling hills of southern Indiana, providing an ideal environment for raising healthy, happy goats.
Production Process[edit | edit source]
The production of Capriole Goat Cheese involves several meticulous steps to ensure the highest quality. The process begins with the milking of the goats, followed by the pasteurization of the milk. The milk is then cultured and allowed to coagulate, forming curds. These curds are cut, drained, and molded into various shapes, depending on the type of cheese being produced. The cheeses are then aged under controlled conditions to develop their unique flavors and textures.
Varieties[edit | edit source]
Capriole Goat Cheese comes in several varieties, each with its own distinct characteristics:
- Wabash Cannonball: A small, ash-coated cheese with a dense, creamy texture and a tangy flavor.
- O'Banon: A fresh goat cheese wrapped in chestnut leaves and soaked in bourbon, giving it a unique, earthy taste.
- Sofia: A soft-ripened cheese with a bloomy rind and a rich, buttery flavor.
- Mont St. Francis: A washed-rind cheese with a robust, pungent aroma and a complex, savory taste.
Awards and Recognition[edit | edit source]
Capriole Goat Cheese has received numerous awards and accolades over the years. The company's cheeses have been recognized at prestigious events such as the American Cheese Society competition and the World Cheese Awards. These honors reflect the dedication and expertise of the Capriole team in producing exceptional goat cheeses.
