It is a gouda style cheese made with vegetarian rennet, covered in a beige waxed rind. Both pasteurised and non-pasteurised (raw milk) versions are available. It has a mild and sweet flavour, which is stronger when aged. It is a seasonal cheese, produced from late March till early November. The goats herd numbers between 70 and 80 of both Saanen and Toggenburg breeds, and are free range.

gollark: That would make sense. A pi is probably also overkill there for anything but camera stuff.
gollark: Our robot is just using L293D things with the possibly very underpowered motors.
gollark: I mean, we're not approaching the limits of the Pi's computing power or anything, it's just nontrivial to do things.
