    I’m using stock images but I am always on the lookout for new cheeses to try whenever I go to the store. Credit to “Cheese.com” for the cheese image and cheese facts. If any of you know some cheeses that I haven’t done yet I would love some input!

    Here is your daily cheese facts: A funky, tangy washed-rind goat cheese from cheesemaker Rebecca Velazquez and Barn First Creamery! Barn First has a small milking herd of thirty-odd goats, and is located in Westfield, Vermont which is part of Vermont’s remote Northeast Kingdom. Urdang is a square format cheese whose rind is washed during the aging process to promote a slightly pungent, fruity funky flavor. Urdang is mild for a washed rind cheese – the paste is dense and fudgy with a chalky and tangy core to balance the fuller flavors that arise from the wash. The name Urdang (and all the names of the Barn First cheeses) are maiden names taken from Rebecca and her partner Merlin’s families.

    Also as a note: I post my daily cheese here as well as in my r/dailycheese subreddit.
