About the Cheese

Rachel is a crowd-friendly Gouda-style cheese that will make you fall in love with goat's milk cheeses.

Produced by White Lake Cheese Co., this semi-firm goat's cheese features a washed bright orange rind which makes it very memorabe and striking-looking.

During the cheesemaking process, some of the whey is replaced with water to lower the milk's acidity, similar to traditional Gouda production. The resulting taste is elegant and mellow, with a lingering delicate nutty flavour and a slight citrussy zing.

Enjoy Rachel with lightly oaked white, red or rose wines for a delightful pairing.

This cheese is featured in our White Wine Selection and Great British Selection.
