All goat cheeses are not created equal

While I agree with your observation that goat cheese is more or less ubiquitous now, (in fact, almost "so yesterday"), the cheeses certainly aren't all the same beast. The bargain logs at Costco, with their acidulated tang, are quite a different product from, for example, Rainbeau Ridge's ChevreLait. This fresh cheese, made in nearby Bedford Hills, NY, expresses the milk in the most immediate way. Cheesemaker Lisa Schwartz' Mont Vivant, a bloomy rind Valencay type, is an individual, living cheese at the opposite end of the spectrum from the pre-packaged crumbles we now all frequently encounter. Give it a try. www.rainbeauridge.com
