Lamb Chopper Cheese is smooth, firm and yellow inside, with a mild, almost sweet taste. On its label, the cheese has a lamb on a motorcycle complete with helmet and scarf.
It is similar to Gouda. Though Lamb Chopper is sold as an American cheese, it is actually made in the Netherlands
The cheese is made from pasteurized sheep's milk curdled with vegetarian rennet, and formed in 10 pound (4 1/2 kg) wheels, then waxed. It is aged in the Netherlands for 3 months, then shipped to California and aged further, and finally sold at 4 to 6 months of age.
The American aging is done by Mary Keehn of the Cypress Grove Chèvre company in McKinleyville, Humboldt County, northern California.
Her goal was to stop the mould from other cheeses such as her Humboldt Fog from jumping to the Lamb Chopper, and her own facilities weren't big enough (only 3,000 square feet), so she farmed the production out to the Netherlands.
