Forsyth Location Cheese Feature: Garrotxa
Each of location's selection varies.  
Cut fresh to order, come in for a taste.
Garrotxa Spanish Goat Cheese
Region: Albio
Milk Type: Unpasteurized goat
Flavor profile: Mild creamy with flavors of fresh pine nuts.
Pronounced Gar-oh-CHA, with the accent on the last syllable. This is a modern farmhouse cheese. Taking the traditional recipe for the cheese and applying modern techniques, so that more people now can enjoy this wonderful cheese. The suede-like rind hides a bone white interior. The texture is firm and almost flaky.

Tasting notes: The pure, white milk seems to have absorbed the flavor of fresh pine nuts and the fresh crispness of young grass. It has a mild and creamy goat flavor, nutty, with herbal hints.
