The Landmark Creamery Petit Nuage was the 2015 Gold Medal Winner of the USA Cheese Competition. And for good reason. This cheese comes in adorable little cylinders of cheese that are textured. The consistency is like a grittier goat cheese, which makes perfect sense as it is a sheep’s milk cheese.

It has a tart beginning, like an intense version of a goat cheese, then a jagged creaminess slowly permeates through, giving sweet after-notes. Just like it says on the box: “Bright with Sweet Finish.” That is exactly what the this sheep cheese is.

Goes well with jelly. As always, I recommend the Fig Spread.
