Plain Goat Cheese
Oldfields Dairy, Oyster Bed Bridge, PEI
It’s hard to get any more local than the Oldfields Dairy set up, with the goats raised less than a hundred metres from the cheese house. Andrew Millar is the cheesemaker at Oldfields Dairy, the sister company to the Great Canadian Goat Soap Company. Originally from Truro, Andrew got into cheesemaking to give him time to spend with his family—and to make delicious food, of course. He started about two years ago with the soft spreadable goat’s cheese included in this month’s box, which is available in plain, chive, or sea salt and black pepper. Since then he has added feta, and just recently has been developing a farmhouse cheddar (available starting this week at the market!).
Excellent on toast or crumbled in salad, you might enjoy the plain cheese with fresh fruit or a tart-sweet chutney. Try with a minerally white wine.
