Mont Saint-Francis

Mont Saint-Francis is an American semi-hard cheese hailing from Indiana, where it's produced by Capriole Goat Cheese. The cheese is made from raw goat's milk in the style of French and Belgian monastic cheeses. Underneath its pungent stout-washed rind, the texture is firm and brittle, becoming more soft with age.

The aromas are pungent and intense, while the flavors are rich, strong, and earthy. Due to its complex aromas and flavors, it's recommended to pair Mont Saint-Francis with fortified wines, bitter beers, and bourbon. The cheese was named after a Franciscan retreat near the production area.
