Made in the style of French farmhouse cheeses like Valencay and Selles-sur-Cher, Dirt Lover is a small-format sheep's milk cheese that is dusted with ash before growing a bloomy rind. When young, Dirt Lover has flavors of butter, lemon and mushroom, and a smooth but firm texture. The flavor becomes earthy and beefy with age, and the paste breaks down to the consistency of butter.
