Goat's Cheese with Pear and Walnut Salad recipe
information
Goat's cheese has a distinctive taste which is, for some people, acquired. It is produced in much smaller quantities than cow's milk cheese, often on individual farms. The flavour will vary according to the time of year and the type of feed. If you prefer, use another white variety such as Caerphilly, Lancashire, Wensleydale or white Stilton.

The strong, salty flavour of goat's cheese is complemented by the sweet pears and sharp lemon dressing.
