A PAIR of award-winning artisan cheesemakers have launched a brand new blend.

'GoaShee' is a semi-hard cheese made from both goat and sheep milk.

It is the brainchild of Martin Gott and Nicola Robinson. The milk for the cheese is provided by animals at their farm near Grange.

Mr Gott and Ms Robinson are the pair behind the company St James Cheese.

Mr Gott said: "By miking both goat’s and sheep’s milks we’ve been able to create a really interesting cheese, which combines the best elements from both milk types.

"When the cheese is young, at two to three months old, it delivers a fresh and supple texture with herbaceous and floral notes which, as the cheese matures, become more pronounced, delivering an intense flavour profile and texture.’’
