Carla Meurs and Ann-Marie Monda produce organic chèvre at Sutton Grange Organic Farm. The farm is east of Castlemaine on 200 acres of rolling granite plains.
With free-range access to a rich variety of native grasses, herbs and shrubs, the Sutton Grange goats produce high quality 100% Certified Organic milk. This, in turn, is made into a variety of styles of chèvre, ranging from fresh to aged and from ash-coated to natural rind. Each variety has its own distinctive flavour.
Having gained experience on farms in Australia and overseas, Ann-Marie and Carla's cheese-making skills reflect their respect and care for the natural environment. With the wellbeing of the goat herd and an integrated wholistic farm management taking priority, animals and their pastures are maintained at a level of optimum health.
Holy Goat Cheese is handmade to a process based on the traditional French soft curd style using slow lactic acid fermentation. The fresh, delicate curds are hand-ladled into individual moulds and allowed to drain slowly under their own weight.
The following are tasting notes for the Holy Goat range:
Fromage Frais
A deliciously sweet, moist, soft and creamy goats' milk curd with a fresh citrus finish. Low in saturated fats, it is ideal for cooking or enjoyed with bread and rich berry jam.
Silk
A traditional fresh curd cheese with a fine melting texture and a creamy lactic sweetness balanced with a tangy acid finish. Low in saturated fats.
Black Silk
A striking ash coated, pyramid shaped fresh curd cheese with a fine melting texture and a creamy lactic sweetness balanced with a tangy acid finish. Low in saturated fats.
Veloute
A mature cheese with a white mould surface. Eaten at three weeks, veloute is young, creamy, sweet, nutty and delicate. As the cheese matures the interior becomes velvety soft, melting in the mouth, with herbaceous and nutty complex flavours. Best eaten between three and 10 weeks.
If the glorious Holy Goat cheeses are an indication of their contentment, Carla and Anne-Marie's goats are indeed blessed.
