Neal's Yard Creamery Ragstone Goat's Cheese Log 200g

Ragstone is a matured goat's milk log made by Neal's Yard Creamery on Dorstone Hill at Dorstone in Herefordshire, from goat's milk collected from Wychmoor Farm at Titley in the same county. The milk is pasteurised and the cheese is set with vegetarian rennet, then ripened under a creamy-white mould rind.

The creamery's own description is savoury, lactic and lemony with a smooth, creamy texture. Young, that means a bright, clean acidity and a dense, fudgy paste that is only just beginning to soften under the rind; held longer, the rind breaks the paste down and the flavour deepens and grows fuller. It is a goat's cheese with more going on than a fresh chèvre, without the farmyard punch of a strong washed rind.

Slice it into thick coins for a cheeseboard, next to Quicke's Devonshire Red Clothbound Cheddar for contrast and a pot of Single Variety Co. Lemon Drop Chilli Jam, whose citrus and heat suit the lemony paste. It grills well: a round on a slice of toasted sourdough under the grill, then over a beetroot and walnut salad. It also melts into a warm tart with roasted red onions. Serve with any of the crackers for cheese.

A 200g log. Pasteurised goat's milk, suitable for vegetarians. Contains milk. Keep refrigerated and bring to room temperature before serving.
