Cheese Wiz: Jumpin’ Goat’s Sunset Chipotle Cheddar

The latest offering to show up on my cheese board is the Sunset Chipotle Cheddar from Buena Vista’s Jumpin’ Good Goat Dairy. Made from goat’s milk, this hard cheese has a streak of russet-red chipotle paste running through the middle. Each bite melds nutty cheddar with smoky, spicy chili pepper. (Tip: The closer you get to the chipotle, the spicier the bite.)

I like to serve this robust cheese on Nita Crisps and offset it with the creamy Buttercup cheese (made from goat and cow’s milk) from Haystack Mountain Goat Dairy. I found both at Marczyk Fine Foods in Uptown.
