Capricorn
May 3rd, 2010 | by tb |
Capricorn is made by Lubborn Creamery, in Cricket St Thomas in South Somerset. It is a goat’s milk cheese made from the milk of West Country Saanen goats.
Capricorn has a natural, bloomy rind. The paste is soft and has a brie like consistency — very runny even before coming to room temperature. Apparently, this is indicative of an aged version of Capricorn compared to fresh versions that are more crumbly. There is a slightly grassy aroma. There is no traditional goat’s milk cheese taste. It starts mild, then becomes a bit sharp with a slightly nutty and vegetal finish. This was a really enjoyable cheese. It was a nice alternative to cow’s milk surface ripened cheeses, like Brie and Camembert.
