Roasted Pecan, Maple, Basil Cheese Log

Celebrating a wonderful Fathers Day at Hope Haven with a cheese creation inspired by my sweet husband. Originally from Canada, and his favorite flavors are nutty, honey and salty. He also loves pesto. So this was posing quite the challenge.

​First I made a lovely batch of plain chèvre to use as my canvas.

Then I slow roasted chopped pecans, with our goat milk butter, and added a bit of brown sugar, maple syrup and Himalayan salt for balance.

I blended the plain chèvre with a bit of honey and more Himalayan fine cheese salt.

Finally rolled it together with freshly harvested basil washed with lemon juice.

The resulting cheese is fantastic!!!!!

Happy Fathers Day!
