The Moonglo is smelly is what I am saying. Which is an interesting quality for a goat cheese to have. The Prairie Fruits Farms Moonglo is…

This Chevre Fraise, a goat cheese, is from Prairie Fruit and Farms Creamery. It comes in a round plastic container with a little cute goat mascot on it. I like this packaging as it is easier to store, but opening the container was kind of difficult the first time. There is no seal or anything.…

The Käserei Tufertschwil Challerhocker was made in Switzerland using cow’s milk. The flavor for this golden cheese was simultaneously sweet and salty.
