Sofia
Sofia is an American cheese produced in Greenville, Indiana by Capriole. It's made from pasteurized goat's milk. The cheese has a wrinkly, mold-ripened rind that hides a close, dense, soft, and creamy paste. The flavors are creamy, tangy, sweet, and citrusy.
Sofia is easily recognizable by its elongated brick shape and a layer of ash which runs through the middle. As soon as the cheese forms a rind (less than 2 weeks), it is wrapped and ready for consumption. The paste becomes even denser and creamier from 5-7 weeks after the production.
It's recommended to pair a young Sofia with sparkling wines and crisp, light wines, and as it matures, Sofia should be paired with sweet white wines such as Moscato or Sauternes.
