Back in 1976, Judy Schad and her husband left the suburbs and moved out to a small farm in Southern Indiana with their three children to raise their family sustainably. Judy fell in love with her affectionate goats, and unknowingly became a pioneer of the American cheese movement when she taught herself how to transform her goats’ milk into chèvre. Today her 400 head strong herd of Alpine, Nubian, and Saanen goats produce some of the most beloved goat cheese in the Nation! Their bright and clean characteristics are highly attributed to a 17hr lactic fermentation that is gently hand-ladled.
The 6 ounce O'Banon is a cheeseboard centerpiece. Gently unfurl the bourbon-soaked chestnut leaves to reveal a disk of fresh chèvre inside, creating a beautiful starburst presentation on the plate. The dense yet silky-soft texture is all due to that hand-ladling. The flavor is tangy and boozy, mildly tannic, with an underlying sweet fruitiness.
