Bouq'Émissaire

This week I tried a québécois raw milk goat cheese called Bouq'Émissaire (a pun on "bouc émissaire," or "scapegoat"). This cheese is bright white in colour with an ash-covered rind. It has a light, almost sweet taste with a yogurty tang. On a toasted bagel with strawberry jam Bouq'Émissaire is divine. Though dry and somewhat tart when cold, when melted it takes on a creamy, almost buttery taste and texture. Apparently this cheese is classified as a blue cheese, although I didn't detect a trace of blue either in appearance or taste. Perhaps when it ages more the blue becomes more pronounced. It costs about $5.00 per 100 grams.
