The Flavor Experience

Ticklemore stands out in its family of soft, fluffy goat’s cheeses. With crumbles, not flakes, of sweet, waxy paste, this cheese brings more flowery and herbaceous notes than it does acidity. Made in Devon, England, the bloom on this basket-shaped wheel ripens the cheese quite differently on this side of the Atlantic, so feel lucky to taste its creamy, American lifestyle. Travel certainly can be an enriching experience, even for cheese!

The Story

Who doesn’t romance a transatlantic voyage? The Ticklemore in Britain and the Ticklemore in America, though they all came from the same creamery in Devon, are vastly different cheeses. Ticklemore remains crumbly with a homogenous paste, varying little from rind to center, in its native land. When crossing the sea to the New World, though, atmospheric changes that are just right promote ripening and lead to the creamy, American version you can try in our shoppe.

Usage Tips

These puffs of ash-ripened goat cheese are built like a Baked Alaska. A delicate bloomy-rind leads into the creamy outer-ring characteristic of this style, and surrounds the silky, unusually light center. Lake’s Edge balances its bright acidity with loads of subtle sweetness, and we welcome this highly seasonal cheese like we do spring blossoms.
