SPANISH GOAT MILK CHEESE
Rogers Collection introduced three new diverse goat milk cheeses to the La Cabezuela product line. For instance, the 2-month aged Traditional Semicurado boasts a lightly hand-salted, herbal, grassy smooth flavor, while the Lingote Cremaso—inspired by the classic French brie—delivers a soft aroma and delicate mouthfeel with a natural white rind developed from 45 days of aging in the cellar.
