I was recently very lucky to receive some wonderful products from Delamere Dairy, in the form of some lovely goats cheese. I’m a real lover of more traditional goats cheeses myself, but what really excited me with this range was how family and child friendly the cheeses seemed to be. I wasn’t disappointed!
Medium hard cheese
Plain log
Spreadable
The hard cheese was scrummy – and I used it just the way you would any other cheese. We baked pizzas topped with grated hard cheese, and I topped my pasta and meatballs with it too. The plain log is more like a ‘traditional’ goats cheese, and I have to confess I ate it all to myself (in a couple of sittings), with crackers and onion marmalade!
The spreadable was the kids favourite – and perfect for sandwiches! What I love about all these cheeses is that they taste fresh and clean, and just cheesy! If you like goats cheese, they are for you, and if you haven’t tried it before, or have tried it but didn’t like it, I really recommend the Delamere Dairy products. I can’t wait to try the yogurts and butter. For more information on their range, check out their website
So why go goat?
The chief reason that people choose alternatives to cows milk products such as these is lactose intolerance. While I am not intolerant, I am very sensitive to cows milk, and have to be very careful how much I eat or drink. With these products I didn’t have to limit myself, and while it may not have been great for the diet, I did enjoy diving into the cheese and biscuits without having to limit myself. The products are suitable for all the family – so no having to buy different things for those with a lactose intolerance, as everyone can tuck in. Goats milk products are also easier to digest, and so great for children, the elderly, and those with digestive difficulties (that’s me)! I was very impressed, and would certainly ‘go Goat’ again!

I love goat's cheese! I make a pizza with caramelised balsamic onion, spinach and goat's cheese.Louisa @ My Family & Abruzzo
Mmmm….that sounds amazing! We made pizzas too – but not quite so upmarket. I love a posh pizza with pesto, mixed leaves etc, but the rest of the family are not so adventurous. Will have to see if I can 'turn' them 🙂
Corrr, I LOVE goat's cheese. Haven't seen this around yet but will deffo give it a go 🙂
I couldn't find any cheese in my local Tesco in the Delemere Dairy brand – just the UHT milk, but I live in the middle of nowhere. I think it will be available at larger supermarkets, and will check with them as to when it will be available further afield.
I am very surprised to find your kids enjoyed it. I always find goats cheese a bit strong, although would happily use it for cooking purposes.
You know, I wasn't sure they would like it, and wasn't going to even suggest it to them if I wasn't convinced, but this range tastes so pure and clean you wouldn't even know it was goats cheese. It's goats cheese but not as we know it lol 🙂
You know what? My mum loves Goats Cheese! This looks great because of the range of it, and the packaging is so much more inviting. Her fave Goat's Cheese dish is either Goats Cheese and Fig Tart or Spinach and Goats Cheese Cannelloni xx
Mmm….I adore figs! Shame they are out of season as I could really go for some now you've mentioned them 🙂
Ooh I do love goats cheese, especially when it is with tomatoes, rocket and balsamic vinegar xBeautyqueenuk xx
Mmmmm….that sounds divine! Proper red juicy tomatoes though – not some of the hard tasteless ones you can buy now. Peppery rocket and balsamic vinegar (my fave low cal salad dressing) with the tasty cheese. You've made me hungry now 😉
I enjoy goats cheese, I'll have to try the kids on it, I think they'd love it too 🙂
I was pleasantly surprised that my two liked it. One is very adventurous at eating, and the other not so much, but they both loved it 🙂
Love goats cheese! In fact, love most cheeses (except blue – blargh!) don't blame you for noshing it down all to your self! And with onion marmalade? Sounds delish! x
I'm the same Michelle – all but the blue – yuck!

Nice review and glad you and th ekids likekd this. I'v eonly gottent o like goat's cheese a little bit recently, and am still not thrilled aobut it.
Thank you for your comment :-)That's what I love about this range – it tastes clean and fresh, and not to rustic. Great for people who don't like more traditional goats cheeses 🙂
Oh my gosh CHHESSSEEEE I adore cheese – not heard of this brand before though I am going to have to keep an eye out on future shopping trips 🙂 x
I certainly recommend it – the hard cheese especially is so versatile. I have some basic recipes coming up later in the week 🙂
I am not a big fan of cheese but Mark loves it, goat one included 🙂
We are big fans of Goats Cheese in our house (although my son always pulls a face when I tell him what it is!). This looks yum!
I blooming love goats cheese! I'll be keeping an eye out for these products! Thanks for linking up this week 🙂 #TriedTested
I didn't realise goat's cheese is easier to digest. I will look out for this product when I'm shopping next
Love goat's cheese on pizza, yummy!
I have never tried goats cheese *hangs head in shame*
You know what I really frequently eat goat's cheese when out and about but never thought to actually buy it myself. LOL.Liska xx
sounds good! Im not sure I ever tried goats cheese before
Ooh goat's cheese that we can all eat – wonderful 🙂
this sounds fabulous will have to look out for this thankyou for sharing x
Yum, we eat loads of goats cheese in our house – it goes great with smoked salmon.
I like goats cheese too – I think it has a sharper creamier taste than other cheeses and goes really well with ginger and onion marmalade!
I am lactose intolerant and I miss cheese, so I will have to give this a try! I'm going to have to find some onion marmalade now too!
Never tried goats cheese, but this looks tempting. And I like what you said about crackers and onion marmalade to go with it.
