A soft, goats milk cheese with a characteristic flavour. Chevin is one of the first cheeses that we made at Fairview and is our most popular goats’ milk product. It is still made using the same traditional recipe, with the curd pressed in muslin bags to remove just the right amount of whey. Made from a blend of 70% goats’ milk & 30% Jersey cows’ milk.
Basic ingredients:
Pasteurised goats’ and Jersey cows’ milk, selected lactic cultures, non-animal microbial rennet and salt.
General information:
Shelf life: 6 weeks from day of production
Size and shape: 100g log
Certified Kosher
Certified Halaal

Serving ideas:
Although chevin is perfect as it is, on a cheeseboard, it is also a very versatile cheese for cooking with as it adds a more complex flavour than cream cheese. Try green figs stuffed with Chevin, grilled and drizzled with balsamic syrup.
