Fresh Chèvre from Clarmell Farms is the closest reflection you can get of the goat’s milk from which it’s made – in partnership between Paul and Grace Mussell (5th generation Mussell family farmers) and Glengarry Fine Cheese. An elegant chèvre - it’s truly an expression of artisan cheesemaking mastery, and as Ottawa’s most “local” cheese, well worth a farm visit down River Road to Manotick.This soft, unripened goat’s milk cheese, with its rich, snow white, “fluffy” textured paste gives a creamy, clean, fresh, tangy, taste with mild citrus flavors that linger long after you’ve savored the first bite. Perfect for spreading (on anything!), crumbled on seasonal salads or melted over grilled vegetables/BBQ’d kabobs as a finishing touch. Clarmell’s chèvre is best enjoyed on a patio or picnic blanket with friends and your favorite summer white wine in hand.Just the details:Cheese: Fresh ChèvreProducer: Clarmell FarmsWhere To Buy: The Piggy Market (Westboro), Ottawa Farmers' Market (Lansdowne), Clarmell Farms (Manotick), Glengarry Fine Cheese (Lancaster)Interesting Fact: This chèvre is classified as a “fresh” cheese due to its high moisture content and the fact it is unripened (not aged).
