Category: CHEESE & DAIRY

Named after Judy Schad’s redheaded granddaughter, Piper, this velvety, fudgy goat’s milk cheese has a dusting of bright red paprika under its white rind. As it ages, the subcutaneous paste begins to soften and ooze. Don’t worry if you see occasional spots of blue-green mold, but educate your customers and friends of its natural evolution.Its flavor is refreshing and lactic, slightly sweet and buttery, with a musty finish.

Pair Piper’s Pyramid with medium-bodied whites with balanced acidity (Sauvignon Blanc-Chardonnay blends, for example.) If you go red, go light: Gamay-based reds with soft tannins play along nicely. Hefeweizen or other hazy wheat beers, however, may be the best match of all.

Joshua ★★★★★

I ordered this cheese on a whim and was blown away by how creamy it is under that delicate white rind. The paprika gives it just a hint of warmth without overpowering the goat's milk tang. It melts beautifully on a warm cracker.

Amelia ★★★★★

The paprika dusting under the rind adds a subtle warmth that really complements the creamy, fudgy texture. It’s become my go-to for a simple cheese board with crusty bread.

Eli V. ★★★★★

I opened this and was immediately struck by how the paprika under the rind gives it a beautiful, subtle heat. It's so creamy and fudgy at room temperature, perfect on a crusty baguette.
