Lamb Chopper

Lamb Chopper is a gouda-style cheese that's produced in the Netherlands, but sold in the United States under the Cypress Grove Chevre label. The cheese is made from pasteurized sheep's milk and it's usually left to age from 3 to 6 months before consumption.

Underneath its waxed rind, the texture is hard, firm, smooth, and dense. The aromas are sweet and mild, while the flavors are buttery, creamy, nutty, sweet, and reminiscent of caramel once fully aged. It's recommended to pair Lamb Chopper with wines such as Sauvignon Blanc or Vouvray.

Serve it melted with polenta and sautéed mushrooms or shave it over melon, mint, and prosciutto salad for the best experience.
