Firefly Farms Merry Goat Round — Accident, Maryland

The Merry Goat Round is Firefly Farms’ best-selling retail cheese — and it earns that distinction every time. Made in the Appalachian highlands of Garrett County, Maryland, Firefly Farms has been crafting award-winning artisan goat cheeses since 2002, drawing on the clean mountain air and pastoral landscape that define this corner of the mid-Atlantic. The Merry Goat Round is a soft-ripened chèvre with a bloomy, fully edible rind that develops beautifully at every stage of ripening. The texture is supple and impossibly creamy, the flavor is clean and bright, and the rind — as Firefly will tell you — is where the fullest, most complex flavor is concentrated. Chefs, caterers, and cheese lovers agree: this one deserves a giant round of applause.

The paste is snow-white and lush, with a fresh, clean goat’s milk character that is tangy without being sharp. As it ripens, the rind softens and the interior becomes increasingly supple and complex, developing earthy, mushroom-laced depth that contrasts beautifully with the bright, citrusy core. Bake it at 350°F until soft and smother it in honey — it transforms into something extraordinary.

Little secret: the fullest flavor is concentrated in the rind. Eat every bit of it. — Firefly Farms
