O’Banon Bourbon-Soaked Chestnut Leaf-Wrapped Goat Cheese

Handcrafted at Capriole Farm in Greenville, Indiana, O’Banon is a fresh goat’s milk cheese wrapped in bourbon-soaked chestnut leaves. The striking presentation — a round of chèvre encased in deeply aromatic leaves — makes it a statement piece for gourmet boards and holiday gifting. 

The flavor profile is sophisticated yet approachable: first bright, tart-fruit notes of fresh chèvre, balanced by underlying sweetness from the bourbon infusion and a subtle tannic, herbaceous edge imparted by the chestnut leaves. The texture is dense yet soft, cloud-like, thanks to Capriole’s hand-ladled curds. 

Tasting Notes

• Elegant fresh goat-milk flavor with a bright, clean acidity
• Whisper of vanilla and bourbon warmth beneath the cream
• Subtle tannic, woody nuance from the chestnut-leaf wrapping
