Deep Dive

A closer look

Rulo de Cabra is a Spanish pasteurized goat's milk log with a thin bloomy white rind, made in the style of the classic French bûche but with a clean, Iberian accent. The shape gives it a lot of surface area, so it ripens from the outside in, the paste right under the rind turning soft and creamy while the center stays a touch denser and brighter.

On the palate it leads with a bright lactic tang, fresh cream and a little yogurty pull, then settles into a gentle mushroomy note from the bloomy rind. It's not a stinky goat cheese, more the approachable, fresh-milk side of the family, soft and mousse-like at room temperature with a clean finish.

Slice it into thick coins for a salad, warm it briefly and let it slump over toast, or just lay a few rounds on a board with honey and figs. A versatile goat log that earns its place at the lighter end of a cheese plate, right where freshness and a little rind character meet.

The Tasting Notes

Texture

Soft and yielding under the knife, with a thin bloomy rind giving way to a dense, mousse-like paste that softens further at room temperature.

Intensity

Gentle goat's milk character up front, clean and bright rather than barnyardy, with a soft bloomy-rind mushroominess pulling through the middle.

Finish

Clean lactic finish that fades quickly, leaving a faint citrus tang and a whisper of fresh cream.

Lactic

Bright lactic tang on the front of the tongue, fresh-cream and yogurt notes that are the calling card of a young goat log.

Nutty

Not a nutty cheese; the youth and high moisture keep it on the fresh-milk side rather than developing browned-butter depth.

Earthy

A light mushroomy note from the bloomy rind, more white-button than forest-floor, kept in check by the fresh paste underneath.

Spicy

No piquancy; this is a gentle, approachable goat log with no peppery bite.

The Rind

Bloomy rind

Thin white bloomy rind that adds a soft mushroomy edge and a touch of salt against the bright lactic paste.

The Pairing

What to pour. What to put alongside.

Rulo 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.

Like wine tasting, but for cheese

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.

Excellent customer service on a shipped order

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.
