Location

Golden Cross British cheese is crafted by Kevin and Alison Blunt in East Sussex, England. Their journey from modest beginnings to becoming celebrated cheese-makers with a thriving herd of 300 goats is a remarkable testament to their dedication and passion for the craft.

Tasting

Golden Cross is a ripened goats’ milk cheese that offers a sweet, soft, and delicately ‘goaty’ flavour, reminiscent of ice cream. Rolled in ash and matured to perfection, it boasts a complex yet subtle taste profile. The cheese is inspired by the renowned Sainte Maure goats’ milk log from France and stands out with its bloomy penicillium candidum coat and a slightly firmer texture.

Pairing

Golden Cross pairs beautifully with a variety of accompaniments. Enjoy it with fresh fruits like figs, pears, or grapes, and drizzle with a touch of honey to enhance its sweet undertones. It also pairs well with crisp white wines such as Sauvignon Blanc or Chenin Blanc, which complement its delicate flavours.

Recipe

Golden Cross’s luxurious texture and flavour make it a versatile ingredient in many dishes. Try it crumbled over a fresh salad with walnuts and cranberries, or melt it into a creamy goats’ cheese tart. It also works wonderfully in a baked dish, providing a rich and tangy element to your culinary creations.
