Carrat (square shape) is a goat’s milk cheese with mouldy ash rind. A unique great cheese.
HISTORY
In the 1980s of the last century, the development of artisan goat’s cheeses in Catalonia was based mainly on variants of lactic curd cheeses with different forms and presentations. This square cheese, with ash on the outside where a white mold develops, was one of those that triumphed.
TASTING NOTES
Very clean taste, frank, very creamy on the palate and with notes of sweet butter, raw mushrooms and tender walnuts. Perfectly paired with young, red or white wines, brut Cavas or medium-bodied beers.
