Located in:
Cheese, Israel
Over the years, owners Avinoam and Michal Barkan have done over fifteen training periods in France and Spain to learn cheese-making techniques that they have brought back to their Moshav in Israel. The Brakin family's Barkanit Dairy is a spread of 500 acres in the village of Kfar Yechezkel and hosts a herd of 450 goats and several hundred sheep.
Tourquoise is made from a blend of sheep and goat's milk. Rich and creamy, it contains pureed walnuts crowned with a split walnut on top. The addition of penicillium candidum gives Tourquoise a light blue cheese flavor that perfectly complements the essence of walnuts.
