Culture Centerfold: Julianna

Made by the Capriole Dairy in Greenville, Indiana from raw goat milk, these semi-hard cheeses, are aged from 4-8 months. Their natural rind protects them as they develop flavor & character. It’s truly in the raw milk cheeses that everything contributing to the character of the milk comes through– the limestone that affects the soil & water, the natural browse growing in Capriole’s woodlands, years of selective breeding for flavor, and the molds and flora that flourish seasonally.

This cheese is named after a Hungarian intern, Julianna Sedli, who loved experimenting with cheese making. This little cheese is buttery, and smooth, evolved out of Old Kentucky Tomme, but nuttier and firmer like a Tomme du Savoie, and, with a mushroomy natural rind of herbes like a Brin d’Amor or Fleur du Maquis.
