Chèvre

Soft · France

In strict translation chèvre means any goat-milk cheese, but in practice it has come to mean the fresh, rindless kind usually sold in a log. This style established goat dairy in the American market from the late 1970s, driven by a small group of Northern Californian producers and the chefs who bought from them, and it remains the default mental image of what goat cheese is. It is also the natural first product for a new goat dairy: it can be made quickly, requires no ageing space, and can be sold immediately, which matters enormously for cash flow in a young creamery. The common faults are textural — grittiness, graininess, or a watery weep — and the flavour should stay in the range of bright citrus rather than tipping into harshness.

Feta

Soft · Greece

Feta is effectively a pickled cheese. It is dry-salted first and then ripened submerged in brine, and that combination of salt and sheep-milk fat makes it the most assertive cheese in the fresh category. The specification is unusually prescriptive: it fixes not only the seven producing regions and the milk blend, but the breeds, their diet, a two-month minimum in brine, and a ban on additives and colouring. The wider market has not respected any of it — the word has been applied to almost any white brined cheese, frequently cow-milk and frequently pre-crumbled, and the gap in quality is substantial. Sheep milk supplies the weight and richness that hold the salt in balance; lean cow-milk versions lose that balance entirely. Goat-milk versions from small producers can be excellent in a leaner, more lemony register.
