The contrast of white and snowy cheese and black as carbon ash hues is extremely eye-catching. The cheese is characterized by a very smooth, creamy texture. Goats milk cheeses are highly appreciated because of their exceptional qualities, such as the abundance of vitamins A and D, goats milk is easy to digest, it contains a lot of valuable minerals and has very low lactose content. For centuries, the use of ashes for the production of cheese is still popular.
