Located in:
Cheese, Israel
Shahat is a gourmet Kosher cheese imported from Israel. Made from a blend of sheep and goat's milk, it is made in the style of the French cheese Selles sur Cher. Coated with charcoal and white mold, the ash facilitates the draining of the whey and encourages the interior of the cheese to ripen. Delicately textured and creamy, Shahat matures with a richness of flavors added by exciting spices. Excellent as a table cheese, also try Shahat in salads and for grilling.

Comments about Shahat by Barkanit:
This cheese is absolutely amazing when thinly sliced and melted with high quality toast (preferably home made). It's also spectacular when left to go to room temp. One of our favorite goat cheeses.
