Goat cheese

So I was at the farmers market last weekend and I tried for the first time this Capriole goat cheese. I have come to the conclusion that I like all of their products. A lot. I spent about 30 bucks on their cheese that day. The little Polish girl working the booth was laughing at me and saying that I was buying too much. I thought she was funny. It's almost all gone by the way. It's not like they were huge portions of cheese. Anyway, I have seen them before just never tried them, glad I did.

Capriole Farms goat cheese is delicious and addictive. My SO made an omelet for us the other day and then put their goat cheese on top and finished it in the oven. It was to die for!

Capriole is absolutely outstanding. They've gained a national reputation based on their extreme quality. I like cheese and enjoy a fair bit of the artisan stuff in Italy and France, and I think Capriole is right up there with them ... with the added advantage that when you buy it, you're getting fresh product and supporting a local producer.

I like Kenny Mattingly's Kentucky cheeses as well, but to be frank, where Capriole does a great job of emulating great classic goat cheeses in the European artisan tradition, Kenny's strike me more as a good Kentucky rendition of Wisconsin cheese.

I really liked the cannonball one they have....the wabash cannonball. It's a good one. My ladyfriend loved their italian torta and had eaten all of it in one sitting. I didnt get much of that one, but the crumbs were good.

I do buy Kenny's and I think they have a booth out there on Bardstown Rd as well. I think that is a pretty good assessment of the two products, there Robin. Or at least from my POV.

Try the fresh O'Banon wrapped in bourbon-soaked chestnut leaves. Modeled on the Provencal <i>Banon</i>, it's amazing!

Also, Saturday they were offering tastes of a new product, one of their little tubes/logs of mild white goat cheese, but this one was flavored with just a little <i>wasabi</i>. Remarkably good flavor combination, just enough wasabi to give it a haunting flavor, not a sushi-style kick.

Capriole rocks. Her goat cheeses are internationally known and have won numerous awards.

Love the wabash, too, but the wasabi goat cheese sounds terrific. See you there on Saturday!

Yeah Robin, I polished that wasabi tube off yesterday. ha! There is only a couple of products that they have that I havent tried and the o'banon is one of them along with the aged raw milk category that I see on their website. I have had all of the fresh and surface rippened cheeses and their fromage a trois line tortas. I seriously love their cheese. I don't use the word love often.

Oh! It is....it is in a tube and you can just squirt that stuff directly in your mouth....not that I did that though, I am classy and sophisticado......

I love Capriole farms goat cheese.We use it in an empanada with wild mushrooms,also in a new dish starting Tue. lobster-goat cheese stuffed anaheim chile with roasted yellow tomato salsa and toasted pumpkin seeds and in a dessert apple-goat cheese "cigar" with delce the leche and black walnuts. We are playing with delce de leche-goat cheese foam too.The shads are great people and they bring their farmers in to try different dishes with their cheese.She is such a sweetheart! I support local farmers 100% well maybe 99% Buen provecho!

Look, I said in the other post I would stop by, you don't need to be tempting me with Capriole farms cheese and stuff that sounds awesome ...except that whole foam thing. People tell me the trendy-ness of it but it just looks like spit to me. Tastes good usually but a little unappealing to look at and a little weird to eat. But I continue to order it for reasons unknown.

Which Market were you at where they had Capriole also where can you find Kenny's Country cheese locally?

I agree,sometimes it is a little over used.I was making a joke though,because I stoped buying a certain mushroom and I was accused of false advertising because it was on my menu in small print,and Minit Prinit didn't remove it from my description and the farmer started a bunch of drama. It was really silly! .I am excited about the ones we use now, Pleasant valley farm mushrooms are the Best I've had in years. They are so fresh and the texture is like no others.They are a must try.They can be bought at Creation Gardens. The market I think they are talking about is the Bardstown rd. one.

Both Capriole and Kenny's can be found at the Bardstown Road Farmer's Market on Saturday morning.
