GOAT CHEESE WITH
Jalapeño
This piece is a testament to balance and character, where French technique meets the pulse of the highlands. The narrative of this cheese begins with a medium-high intensity sensory profile, where the immaculate whiteness of its paste integrates selected pieces of jalapeño that not only define its aesthetics but also provide an organic and vibrant dimension. On the palate, the first contact is a silky creaminess that quickly gives way to a noble and controlled heat.
As the piece reaches room temperature, more dynamic tasting notes emerge: vegetable and herbaceous nuances that evoke the freshness of the field, merging with the clean sweetness of our free-range goat milk. It is not an aggressive flavor; it is a progression of textures ranging from a delicate firmness to an enveloping warmth, leaving a persistent aftertaste that invites a second bite. The capsaicin acts here as an enhancer, achieving a balance where the dairy integrity is never lost..
The persistence of this piece in the mouth is its hallmark, achieving a balance where the spiciness does not dominate the milk. The jalapeño acts as a contrasting agent, highlighting the citrus peaks of the young cheese to give way to a bold flavor complexity. It is, in essence, a dairy architecture designed for those seeking pulse and an unmistakable sensory signature in haute gastronomy.

Pairing in the Glass
The character of the jalapeño finds its ideal balance in a medium-bodied Red Wine. The structure of the tannins respects the intensity of the piece, highlighting the mineral notes and the pulse of the spice in an elegant way.
Pairing on the Board
We recommend the contrast with slices of artisan baguette or the rustic crunch of corn tortilla chips to elevate its vibrant profile and ensure a complete pairing experience.
