Day 23 - Christmas Hamper Competition!

✨ Rachel ✨
 Rachel is an English goats cheese made in Somerset by . It is lightly washed in a brine solution creating a warm orangey coloured rind with a pale, supple interior.   This semi-firm goats cheese is made using vegetarian rennet and unpasteurised milk. The overall flavour is not overly ‘goaty’ but nutty and mellow, making it the perfect goats cheese for those who enjoy a goats cheese which is not too strong.   One of the cheesemakers at White Lake says that Rachel was named after one of his friends - “like the cheese she is sweet, curvy and slightly nutty”.
