Paula Lambert is a renowned cheesemaker and entrepreneur. In 1982, she founded the award-winning Mozzarella Company, a small cheese factory in Dallas, Texas. Today ,the company produces some of the best Hispanic-influenced cheeses this side of the border. This fantastic goat cheese has been aged for between six months to a year, and has developed a decidedly firm texture. Bold and assertive with a nutty tinge, the depth of flavor in this cheese is remarkable. Montasio Festivo is rubbed with an ancho chile/olive oil paste to form a thin, dark-red rind, whilst also lending the cheese an unmistakable aroma.

Describe Yourself:
I like Good Food
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
This was a good cheese. The outside rub is very flavorful, which put me off just a bit when eating it alone. However, I found it is a good compliment with other flavors such as crackers, sandwiches, meats, and I even enjoyed the quesadilla I tried!
