Raw Caromont Farm farmstead goat’s milk
Natural rind, semi-firm, enzymatic
Kid rennet
Aged on farm minimum 60 days
 
Caromont Farm is close to the tiny village of Esmont – one road, no stoplight, and the kind of small town post office of a bygone era. This cheese is named for our home town. A small rustic tomme, made in an Italian basket mould. The Esmontonian begins with notes
of minerality, a touch of citrus, and finishes with a delicate earthy aroma and a toasted maple note. With age expect a more picante note and a dry grana like texture.
