May’s cheese of the month is…
Delamere Goats Cheese
Delamere Dairy have been producing their range of award winning goats’ milk products for over 30 years. Their Goats Milk Cheese is made from the highest quality goats’ milk from nine family farms across the UK.
Delamere Goats Cheese is carefully matured for between 4-6 months to give it a smooth texture and a tangy tasty flavour. The possibilities are plentiful and after much experimenting with various recipes, we decided to use Goats Cheese to make a British classic- quiche. Sweet roasted red peppers, and tangy goats cheese are combined to create this delicious dish which has become a favourite with many of us at Coombe Castle. Give it a try and you won’t be disappointed!
