Murray's Cheese
Cave-Aged Haystack Peak and Tremblay Honey

This product is not currently available.

It’s not your average goat cheese. This cave-aged rendition comes complete with a silky edible rind over an ash-covered tangy interior that bears great resemblance to the snow-capped mountains in Colorado from where it comes. Tremblay Apiaries Honey helps bring out the subtle sweetness in the goat milk.

Here's what you get:

  • 1/2 lb of Haystack Mountain Peak cheese
  • 1 jar of Tremblay Apiaries Honey

Aging Gracefully

The term “goat cheese” often conjures up images of fresh, tangy, soft and stark-white chevre, but Haystack Peak provides a shining example of a lightly aged alternative. Jim Schott transforms the milk from his herd of 100 goats into a more mellow goat cheese with lingering hints of hay, grass and a light, milky tang. As it ages, the rind ripens the cheese, allowing it to lose moisture, concentrate the salt content and convert the sharp citrusy notes of a fresh chevre into more mild and minerally aromas and flavors.
