Nevat is a soft-ripened goat's milk cheese from Catalonia, made by Josep Cuixart at Can Pujol and named for its snowy white bloomy rind (nevat means snowy in Catalan). It's a small format cheese built to be eaten young, when the paste is still delicate and the rind has just settled into its powdery bloom.
The paste is soft and yielding, with a cream line developing just under the rind and a lightly chalky core that softens toward the edges as the wheel ripens. Made from pasteurized goat's milk, it leads with clean fresh dairy, that bright lactic tang you want from a good goat, then opens into a soft citrus and herbal lift with a quiet mushroomy whisper from the rind. Nothing loud, nothing barnyardy, just really well made.
This is one of those cheeses where the ripeness is the whole story. Young, it's chalky and lemony. A few weeks on and the cream line takes over and the whole thing turns spoonable near the rind. Either way it's a lovely example of what Catalan goat cheesemakers are doing quietly and well.
Soft and yielding under the knife, with a cream line developing just under the snowy rind and a lightly chalky core when young that softens toward the edges as it ripens.
Gentle and approachable. Fresh goat's milk on the front, a little citrus lift, and a soft herbal finish, nothing loud or barnyardy.
Clean and short, the milky sweetness fades in under fifteen seconds with just a whisper of lemon and hay lingering.
Fresh goat's milk is the whole first act, bright and yogurty with that clean lactic tang that reads like whipped fromage blanc.
Not a nutty cheese. It's built around fresh dairy, not aged umami.
A quiet mushroomy note from the bloomy rind sits at the edges, more white button than forest floor.
No pepper, no bite. Balanced and gentle throughout.
Bloomy rind
The bloomy white rind is edible and adds a soft mushroomy note that plays against the milky paste. It thickens and gets more pronounced as the cheese ripens.
Nevat stands on its own, but the right partners turn a wedge into a moment. Regional pairings first — they were built for each other.
Bright Spanish sparklers and crisp coastal whites echo the citrus lift in the paste and refresh the lactic tang without overpowering the delicate rind.
Soft sweetness from honey or quince rounds off the goaty tang, and the Marcona almonds give a Catalan-native crunch that echoes the region.

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.
