Eligo, named for a nearby lake, is a washed rind cheese made from a blend of cow and goat's milk.
It's the first cheese Jasper Hill Creamery has developed to feature the superb goat milk from their partners at Bridgman Hill Farm. Small ruminants like goats and sheep have always been in the long-term vision for Jasper Hill - one taste of this and you'll be both glad they did and wish they'd done it sooner!
Eligo’s flavors highlight the best in both the cow and goat's milk types; buttery richness from the cow milk and a soft, white pepper spice note from the goat milk. A densely creamy texture is a bit soft beneath the washed rind.
Pairings: Eligo’s goat aromas and subtle earthiness from the rind make it a great match for skin contact, full-bodied white wines and crisp, low-tannin reds ("chillable reds"). When on a cheese platter, pair Eligo with preserved lemon, mild green olives, and toasted almonds.
