Galactic cheese is like a little star in the Milky Way! It is a cow's milk lactic curd cheese with a geotricum rind (white mould rind). The geotricum rind is different to the standard white mould rind, being more delicate and faster to establish in the maturing room. Because this cheese is so young it reflects what the cow's milk is currently doing... i.e. what the cows are eating and how the season is unfolding.
