April Cheese Feature - Pure Luck Chevre

Pure Luck Basket Chevre
 
Meet Pure Luck Chevre, a cheese that is so familiar to our shop regulars, it needs no introduction. This fresh farmstead goat cheese from Dripping Springs is Lindsey's favorite cheese, and believe me, it's hard to make a top pick. 
 
Amelia Sweethardt of Pure Luck Dairy, started out farming herbs and cucumbers. Her farm and family have since grown and now she has about 100 very spoiled, Nubian and Alpine goats. I had the pleasure of meeting Amelia (and her goats) about 4 years ago, and I think I figured out why her Chevre is so delightful and dreamy - like most small farms, this is a labor of love.
 
Pure Luck's fresh chevre is made from pasteurized goat’s milk and is basket molded, hence the unique shape. It's light as a cloud and pleasantly tangy, without being overly goaty. When enjoyed alone, it melts in your mouth. These basket chevres come in Plain, Mixed Herb, Cracked Black Pepper, Anaheim Chili and June's Joy - a blend with honey, black pepper and thyme. This chevre is incredibly versatile and can be found on countless menus across Houston, Austin and beyond.  

With any cheese, allow it to open up a room temperature to serve. Pure Luck Chevre pairs wonderfully with a crisp, dry rose or a pilsner. Since this chevre is so mild it can be served on a cheese board with virtually anything. Try it with fresh figs, green apples, roasted beets or even on a bagel in lieu of cream cheese. 

Pure Luck Chevre also happens to be my favorite cheese to cook with. Try one of our favorite recipes in the Dairymaids archives, such as Pure Luck Chevre Ice Cream or Sour Cherry & Chevre Brownies. Stay tuned for a new recipe next week!
