Melville

Melville is an American cheese hailing from Lebanon, Connecticut. This soft artisan cheese is made from pasteurized goat's milk and it's ripened from 7 to 14 days. When young, after 7 days, the texture is silky and blubbery, and after 14 days the texture becomes oily, soft, elastic, and supple.

The flavors are sweet, mild, buttery, and slightly tart and acidic. It's recommended to use Melville with pasta dishes, pizza, tomatoes, fruit jams, and mushrooms. Pair it with a glass of wheat beer or champagne. The cheese is named after the famous author of Moby Dick, and that's why the co-founder of Mystic Cheese, Brian Vivitello, refers to the texture of Melville as blubbery.
