{"product_id":"greystones-goat","title":"Greystones Goat's Cheese","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSmall in size but full of character, Greystones is an ash rinded mature goat's cheese with a dense, fudgy texture and a rich, concentrated flavour. At just 40g, it's a wonderfully individual little cheese, with the depth and complexity you might expect from a much larger, more mature cheese.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGreystones is carefully matured by Jazz Reeves and our cheese care team in Paxton \u0026amp; Whitfield's specialist maturing rooms in the Cotswolds. During this time, the cheese gradually loses moisture, becoming firmer and developing a more concentrated flavour. Its texture is reminiscent of a mature French Crottin, with a pleasing density that softens slightly as the cheese reaches room temperature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe flavour is distinctly goaty, with a gentle acidity balanced by savoury, nutty notes. Its small size means there is a particularly satisfying contrast between the more developed exterior and the dense paste beneath. It's a cheese best enjoyed slowly, allowing its different flavours to emerge as you eat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe particularly enjoy Greystones with a little honey, which provides a lovely contrast to its savoury character, or simply with a piece of good sourdough. A crisp Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc, such as Sancerre, would make an excellent wine pairing, with enough freshness to complement the cheese's concentrated flavour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGreystones is another example of the work we love doing in our Cotswold maturing rooms, taking a carefully made cheese and allowing time, patience and skilled cheese care to bring out a different side of its character. Its diminutive size makes it an intriguing addition to a cheeseboard, particularly for anyone who enjoys discovering more mature styles of goat's cheese.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paxton \u0026 Whitfield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56426201612673,"sku":"1886","price":4.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0848\/3327\/2130\/files\/Paxton_WhitfieldJul26WebRes-7.jpg?v=1793287643","url":"https:\/\/paxtonandwhitfield.co.uk\/products\/greystones-goat","provider":"Paxton \u0026 Whitfield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
