Before folding or wrapping. Use cheese to glue together
Goats cheese
There are many different names for goats cheese, depending on which country you are in. Some types you may have heard of are Feta from Greece, Caprino cheeses from Italy, Snøfrisk from Norway, Gevrik from Cornwall to name but a few of the countless different types.
Methods of producing goats cheese vary all over the world, as it is a very old dairy product that has had a long time for production techniques to be perfected and to diverge.
French goats cheese as we buy it
Some goat’s cheeses are aged to give a rind to the cheese. Others are soft. We buy soft French goat’s cheese in the form of a roll from our local supermarket. In France goat’s cheese is known as ‘chèvre’ after the French word for goat. There are many different types of goat’s cheese in France. This Wiki page tells you more.
The roll shape of the cheese we buy makes it easy to cut a slice to eat cold on a cracker, or to crumble onto a tortilla, as in this recipe. The cheese itself is quite crumbly once you cut into it.
Tortilla folded flat and toasted
Combinations with goat cheese
As mentioned before something sweet goes well to combine with the sharp taste of a goats cheese. In this recipe, honey is the solution, which together with the walnut gives a perfect taste combo.
But often you will find goat’s cheese combined with things like dates or figs instead. If you had some delicious date paste available, this would be a great alternative, for example.
Goat’s cheese tortilla tightly wrapped, before slicing into appetizers
If you make tight rolls of these tortillas and slice them into small coin-shaped pieces, then this recipe makes a very nice appetizer or finger food at a party.
When filling the tortilla, use the cheese to help glue the tortilla together when you heat it, and make sure you wrap it tightly. Then slice it after it has cooled down a little bit.
