Gouda, Cumin - Juniper Grove
On the eastern edge of the intensely beautiful and awesome Cascade Mountain Range, Pierre Kolisch -- lawyer turned cheesemaker -- uses European methods to create traditional farmstead goat's milk cheeses for Juniper Grove Farm. The high-energy goats are allowed to cavort freely in the fresh air, drink clear mountain water, and sup on shrubs and alfalfa that grow lushly in the rich volcanic soil.
Toasted cumin seeds compliment the earthy flavor of this washed rind semi-firm cheese, aged on pine planks in Juniper Grove's own cellar, where its natural rind shades from ivory to orange.
