Rollingstone Chèvre takes its name from the small Minnesotan town where Charles and Karen Evans first began building their herd of Saanen goats. Eight years later, with goats in tow, The Evans' established Rollingstone Chèvre as Idaho's first goat cheese producer, have been in the artisan goat cheese business since 1988. Their forty-five acre farmstead is nestled in rolling hills in Southwest Idaho, in the heart of a burgeoning wine country between the Snake and the Boise Rivers, where temperatures and soil composition mirror those of Provence, France.

Rollingstone never purchases outside milk for use in their chevre. All products are processed in a small fromagerie on the Rollingstone farm. This provides them with the ultimate in quality control and allows for the production of some of the finest goat cheeses on the market today. A clean, mild flavor, and soft, creamy texture are among the most dramatic features of their exquisite selections. These qualities are a direct result of the breed of goat, careful herd management, and proper care of the milk.

Rollingstone's Anise and Lavender Chevre is aged to a slightly crumbly texture. This cylindrical cheese, encased in a yellow wax, is beautiful enough to present as a gift. Thanks to the added ingredients, this cheese exhibits an addictive flowery bouquet. Excellent as an accompaniment to poultry or lamb, we simply love it as part of the after-dinner cheese course too.
