Cana de Cabra is a soft-ripened goat's milk cheese from Murcia in southeastern Spain, shaped into a long log and finished with a thin bloomy white rind. It is Spain's answer to the French Bûcheron recipe, made with pasteurized goat's milk and aged for about three weeks before it ships.
The paste is bright white and soft, with a pronounced cream line right under the rind and a slightly chalkier, more lactic core in the center. On the palate it leads with that classic goat's milk tang, buttery and a little lemony, then picks up a soft mushroom note from the rind on the back end. The finish is clean and short, more refreshing than funky, which is what makes this such an easy entry point for people who think they don't like goat cheese.
This is the cheese to reach for when you want goat character without any of the sharper, gamier edges. Slice it into thick coins for a board, melt it onto toast with a drizzle of honey, or warm a piece and drop it onto a salad with bitter greens. It sits right in the sweet spot between fresh chèvre and a more aged bloomy goat, and it punches well above its price tag.
Soft and yielding under the knife with a creamy line right under the bloomy rind and a slightly firmer, chalkier core. The shape gives it lots of surface area, so the paste softens from the outside in.
Mild and approachable. Buttery up front with a clean goaty lactic tang and a soft mushroomy note off the rind. Easy entry into goat cheese, but plenty of character.
Short and clean. A quick lemony tang and a whisper of mushroom from the rind, then it clears the palate within a few seconds.
Bright lactic tang up front, classic goat's milk: like cultured butter with a squeeze of lemon. Fresh and yogurty without any sharpness.
A faint browned-butter note in the cream line just under the rind, but nuttiness is not the main story here. The lactic side leads.
Light mushroom and damp-cellar character from the bloomy rind, more delicate than barnyard. Adds a gentle savory backdrop to the milky paste.
No piquancy or peppery bite. Soft, mild, and easygoing from front to back.
Bloomy rind
Thin bloomy white rind that adds a quiet mushroomy note and a touch of damp-cellar earthiness. Edible and part of the package, it's what gives the cream line under the rind that extra savory pull.
Cana de Cabra stands on its own, but the right partners turn a wedge into a moment. Regional pairings first — they were built for each other.
Crisp, high-acid whites and dry sparklers match the lemony lactic tang of the goat's milk and refresh the palate between bites of the creamy paste.
A drizzle of honey or a spoon of fig jam plays into the buttery, slightly lemony paste, and Marcona almonds echo the soft nutty note in the cream line.

Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
