Located in: 50 States of Cheese, Arizona

Black Mesa Ranch is a 280-acre working goat ranch located just east of the historic pioneer town of Snowflake in the beautiful White Mountains of Arizona. The ranch started making cheese in 2003, becoming the only certified goat dairy in the state of Arizona. Located off-grid, Black Mesa Ranch produces its own electricity using solar and wind technology.

Black Mesa Ranch's cheeses are true farmstead products, made exclusively from the milk of their own Nubian goats. These goats, of African descent, are well suited for Arizona's hot climate. Unlike goat cheeses from temperate parts of the globe, the heat, lack of humidity, and desert plants eaten by the goats produce a flavor that is distinctive and unique. All Black Mesa cheeses are handmade in small batches to ensure attention to detail. Their superb Jalapeno Chevre is fresh, soft, and clean on the palate. Excellent served on crusty French bread, the zesty jalapeno coating makes it a true Arizona experience.

Made from goat's milk.

Comments about Black Mesa Jalapeno Chevre:

Used on a spinach salad with cranberrys, mandarine oranges, walnuts and red onions. The Jalapeno Goat Cheese was the exact addition to make the salad out of this world.

Comments about Black Mesa Jalapeno Chevre:

When I first tasted this cheese, the only thing I could taste was the spiciness of the jalapeno. That's a shame, because the chevre itself is also tasty. As my mouth adjusted to the spiciness and I was able to taste the full cheese I was able to appreciate it more, but I much prefer the Wasabi Chevre, which better balances spiciness with the innate sweetness of the chevre.

Comments about Black Mesa Jalapeno Chevre:

Chevre with sizzle! I make my own goat cheese from our Oberhasli dairy goat milk, but the does are dry right now, and I needed a chevre fix. The base chevre is smooth, fresh and not goatie (a plus). The jalapeno paste coating adds a lot of zip, without over powering the cheese. Next cheesemaking season, I'll be trying to reproduce this one.

Comments about Black Mesa Jalapeno Chevre:

It has some heat! Some of my family thought it was too hot for them but I loved it! The heat is balanced by the creamy cheese. It was a fun cheese!
