This is a very, very fresh goat cheese. After months of the decent but uninspirational cheap stuff at Trader Joe's, I'd forgotten what cheese from goats <200 miles away tasted like. I don't know if this is pasteurized or not, but there's a definite milky taste under the usual goat cheese tartness. I got the herb-encrusted kind, and Pure Luck has elected to add some red pepper flakes, along with the expected greenish melange. Because this is Texas, right? If it's not kickin' you back, you're not doing it right.
I recommend serving this on lightly toasted corn tortillas, with a bit of fresh fruit on the side. I had a baby banana (cute & delicious) and some sapote (creamy & slightly bitter) to round out my breakfast. I think melon & figs would've been a better pairing.
