Lamb-Bourgini by Peacock Cheese
We drive to Las Vegas to pick up this cheese from our distributor there. It’s worth every mile.
Cheese Maker Peacock Cheese Distributing Company has been bringing gourmet foods from around the world since 1946 as a family-owned California distributor specializing in artisanal cheese imports. They source this whimsically named "My Lamb-Borghini" from the Netherlands, so it’s kind of sort of American-made.
Cheese My Lamb-Borghini is a matured, gouda-style cheese made from pasteurized sheep's milk and aged for 3-6 months to produce a paste that is deep buttery in color with a smooth firm texture.
Tasting Notes: The cheese is characterized by a rich, creamy texture and sweet, nutty flavor typical of Gouda, with a firm yet smooth consistency and a slight hint of caramel.
Pairing Suggestions: For something truly unique, try it with aged balsamic vinegar and candied walnuts on grilled brioche, or pair with Dutch gin and fresh figs to create an elevated Netherlands-inspired tasting experience that plays on the cheese's playful luxury car namesake.
