midnight moon

Made in the Netherlands for Cypress Grove Creamery in Northern California.  Aged six months or more, Midnight Moon is a blushing, ivory-colored goat cheese that’s nutty and brown buttery up front with a long caramel finish.  Similar to a Gouda, as it ages, protein crystals form and lend a slight crunch to the otherwise dense and smooth cheese.  Know someone who doesn’t like goat cheese?  Encourage them to dip their toes back in the water, as Midnight Moon has been known to convert even the staunchest of goat cheese critics.  Serve with fig jam and seeded crackers or bread; pairs well with Belgian Dark beer, stouts or tripels, ice wines, sweet sherry, Syrah or Zinfandel.  Winner of many international awards.
