Norsworthy

Norsworthy is an unpasteurized, goat’s milk cheese made in Crediton, Devon. It has a natural rind. The interior is a milk white colored and has small, irregular air holes throughout the paste. The cheese is semi-firm. There is a slightly musty aroma. The texture is creamy, but toothsome. The taste has some typical goat cheese taste, with some musty notes, but it isn’t sharp or too tangly. It has quite a mild taste.

I thought this was a great example of an aged goat cheese. It would be excellent on a cheese board as I think it would be appeal to most people and especially those who don’t like fresh goat cheese. If you want more details about Dave Johnson, who makes Norsworthy, among other cheeses, this description on The Cheese Shed’s website is a good read.
