O'Banon

About this item

O’Banon is Capriole Farm's ode to the French cheese Banon. The curds are hand ladled, creating a texture that’s dense and cloudlike at the same time. The cheese is then wrapped in bourbon-soaked chestnut leaves. The tart-fruit forward goat cheese is balanced out with a delicate sweetness from the bourbon and a tannic bite from the chestnut leaves.

The leaves can be unfurled for a dramatic cheeseboard centerpiece and the paste can be sandwiched between pieces of dark chocolate.  O’Banon has won ‘best in category’ multiple times at the American Cheese Society Awards.
