We use our best milk for a cleaner, fresher flavour. There are no disguising faults in a product as fresh as this. The milk is set using a traditional long set method overnight. The following day the curd is ladled into cheesecloth bags . We allow the curd to drain for several hours this process is very gentle as the curd has a delicate structure. This product is pure with only a small amount of salt being added during the final process.
Our curd has a mild, light and tangy flavour with a smooth, creamy finish that is almost fluffy. The flavour is clean and subtle with a perfect acid balance and light salting.
This fresh lively goat's cheese is perfect on its own and makes an ideal partner to both sweet and savoury flavours. The Curd can be simply spread on fresh bread, then topped with any of the following - drizzled with good olive oil and cracked pepper, roasted capsicum, basil pesto, grilled figs or quince paste.
Further it can be used in tarts, both sweet and savoury, dollop on top of your favourite pasta dish, thicken soups and on top of good pizzas.
The Curd should be treated as a fresh cheese, kept at or below 4 degrees Celsius before a short rest outside prior to use.
The Woodside Goat Curd is available in 125g, 230g and 1.3kg containers.
