Capriole Judy Schad began making goat cheese on her Indiana farm in the 1970s, long before American artisan cheese had a real audience or infrastructure. Undeterred, she developed a portfolio of distinctive, handcrafted goat cheeses—including the ash-ripened O'Banon and the elegant Mont St. Francis—that drew comparisons to the finest French chèvres. Judy became a beloved and influential figure in the American cheese world, mentoring cheesemakers and championing goat's milk for decades. Her Capriole farm stands as a testament to what one determined woman with a herd of goats and a vision can build.

Julianna is a beautiful bloomy goat's cheese that really comes alive at room temperature, so give her time to bloom.

Pair it: Julianna goes great with rosé or fresh fruit.
