Pipe Dreams Fromages Goat Bûche (per ½ bûche)

Pipe Dreams Fromages Goat Bûche | Lancaster County, Pennsylvania | per ½ bûche

Pipe Dreams Fromages is doing something quietly extraordinary in Greencastle, Pennsylvania — channeling the spirit of the Loire Valley from the heart of Lancaster County. Their Goat Bûche is a classic ash-rolled log of fresh goat's milk cheese, made in the tradition of Sainte-Maure de Touraine: elegant, delicate, and unmistakably chèvre.

The ash coating gives the rind a striking appearance and a subtle mineral quality, while the interior paste is bright, creamy, and clean. As it ages, it develops a gentle earthiness and a more complex, herbal character — but at any stage, it's a cheese that rewards attention.

"A little bit of the Loire Valley in Greencastle, Pennsylvania, this ashen log of goat's milk cheese is creamy, herbal and a smidge earthy in the finish. Pair it with your favorite dry white wine or anything that sparkles."
