Quicke's has specialized in cheddar for generations, but when they introduced goat's milk into the equation, it changed the game. Though Quicke's farm is the home to plenty of cows, but not a goat in sight, they were able to source rich goat's milk from a nearby farmer. Just like their other cheddar, the goat's milk was treated with equal love - cut, pressed, and drained by hand. Bound in cloth, the cheese matures to perfection after six months. During that time, it develops toasted almond and whipped butter, while still maintaining a sweetness that is the quintessential goat flavor. The sweet and nutty notes of this unusual cheddar make it pear cider's peculiar friend.

Tom Chatfield grew up on seventy acres in southwest England, the son of a first-generation sheep farmer who drove trucks at night to fund his pasture. Tom loved the land, but he did his best to avoid, as he puts it, “learning to drive tractors and pull lambs out of sheep.” His father grew up …
