Andante Dairy Cavatina, Goat's milk cheese log

In the words of founder, Soyoung Scanlan:

It’s a log-shaped ash-covered goat’s milk cheese. I made this cheese for the chef Corey Lee when he was a chef de cuisine at the French Laundry. Most cheeses were round and flat, and I wanted to offer him something he could cut geometrically. The log shape has an oval cut surface, and he could give him the freedom to work on the shape. I asked him to find the name since it was made for him. At the meeting after the service, he asked a few young chefs the suggestions, and one chef came up with “Cavatina”. It’s a lyrical song in music, and the most famous piece is the guitar music used for the movie ‘deer hunter’. Very gentle and a narrative song was suitable for what the cheese reflects. When the cheese is aged, the rind starts showing wrinkles as the inside gets softer. I love to watch the cheese being aged. The taste gains pungency and depth as any well-made fermented food ages.
