Cypress Grove Midnight Moon is the cheese that makes people who say "I don't like goat cheese" eat their words—and then ask for another slice. This is a Belgian-style aged goat cheese that is as smooth as a moonlit night and twice as romantic. Aged for six months or more, it loses all the "tangy" funk of young goat cheese and develops a dense, buttery texture punctuated by those tiny, crunchy protein crystals that cheese lovers live for. It tastes like a combination of brown butter and toasted nuts, with a finish that is slightly sweet and incredibly clean. It’s a premium artisan cheese that looks stunning on a board with its dark, wax rind and pale ivory interior. Serving Midnight Moon is a signal that you are a person of high culture and impeccable taste, yet you still know how to have a good time. It is the "universal favorite" of the luxury cheese world, a consistent award-winner that plays perfectly with everything from champagne to craft beer. The Recipes Recipe #1: Midnight Moon & Caramelized Onion Galette Roll out a store-bought pie crust and fill the center with balsamic-caramelized onions and thick shards of Midnight Moon goat cheese. Fold the edges over and bake until the pastry is golden and the cheese is slightly softened. This savory cheese tart is a fantastic brunch or dinner option that feels like you spent all day in a French bakery. Recipe #2: The "Over-the-Top" Goat Cheese Fondue Melt shredded Midnight Moon into a pot with a splash of dry white wine and a hint of nutmeg. Gather the family around the table with cubes of Granny Smith apples, crusty bread, and steamed broccoli for dipping. Because this is an aged goat cheese, it creates a sophisticated, nutty fondue that is a fun, interactive way to spend an evening with friends. The Appetizers Appetizer #1: Midnight Moon & Fig "Stackers" Place a wedge of Midnight Moon on a raincoast crisp, top with a slice of fresh fig, and a tiny sprig of thyme. This elegant fruit and cheese pairing highlights the butterscotch notes of the cheese perfectly. Appetizer #2: Crunchy Cheese "Bark" Use a vegetable peeler to make wide ribbons of the cheese and serve them in a bowl with toasted almonds. It’s a sophisticated, low-carb snack for a wine tasting where you want the texture of the cheese to be the star. Size: 10 lb. Origin: Made in Holland exclusively for Cypress Grove Chevre
