{"product_id":"acapella-goat-california","title":"Acapella (4.5oz)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcapella is a small soft-ripened goat's milk cheese from Andante Dairy in Petaluma, California, made with vegetarian rennet and finished with a dusting of vegetable ash under a Geotricum candidum rind. The rind blooms into a wrinkled, bluish-grey coat that gently holds a stark white paste inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut into it young and you get that fresh goat lactic tang up front, bright and citrusy, with a chalkier core that softens toward the rind. Give it a little more time and the cream line does its work: the paste turns tender and almost spoonable near the rind, and the earthy, mushroomy character from the Geotricum starts pulling the flavor deeper into savory, mineral territory. It's a great illustration of centripetal aging, where the outside ripens first and slowly works its way in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndante is one of the small California goat dairies really worth paying attention to. Acapella is delicate, a little wild, and shows off what fresh goat milk and a well-behaved ashed rind can do together when the maker isn't rushing anything.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gourmet Foods International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45673234038953,"sku":"10001052","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/6027\/8185\/files\/Screenshot2026-08-28at10.52.12AM.png?v=1787939557","url":"https:\/\/cheesestore.com\/products\/acapella-goat-california","provider":"The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills | Domenico's Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
