Julianna

Julianna is an American cheese hailing from Greenville, Indiana, where it's produced by Capriole Goat Cheese. The cheese is made from pasteurized goat's milk and the rind is dusted with herbes de Provence, safflower petals, and calendula petals.

The cheese is left to age from 4 to 8 months before consumption. Underneath its natural rind, the texture is semi-soft, buttery, and smooth. The aromas are herbal with mushroomy notes, while the flavors are smooth, tangy, buttery, and nutty. The cheese started as an experimental version of Old Kentucky Tomme, and it was developed by a Hungarian intern named Julianna Sedli, hence the name of the cheese.

It's recommended to pair the cheese with a glass of rosé, Pinot Noir, Gamay, or Grüner Veltliner, and serve it with olives and cold cuts.
