FROMAGERIE BELLE CHEVRE
Goat Cheese Cheesecake
ANY COMPANY CAN PRODUCE A READY-TO-EAT CHEESECAKE, but
Belle Chevre's is made with its signature goat cheese, sweet vanilla and
hints of lemon zest. "It's an artisan dessert that everyone can enjoy without
spending hours in the kitchen," says owner Tasia Malakasis.
Made from scratch using the company's award-winning Alabama goat
cheese, the light, airy, creamy cheesecake sits atop a graham cracker crust.
Belle Chevre's cheesecake is lighter than a cream cheese–based cheesecake, and is both
higher in protein and lower in calories and fat than many of its competitors.
Malakasis says customer feedback has been extremely positive, even from people who
don't typically care for goat cheese. "We have some people who are hesitant to try it, but
if they can be convinced to do so, their reaction always ranges from pleasantly surprised to
in love," she says, adding that the goaty, grassy flavor that deters some from goat cheese
is nonexistent in the cheesecake.
The Elkmont, Ala., company's Goat Cheese Cheesecake is just one of its sofi stars this
year. Belle Chevre's Belle & The Bees Breakfast Cheese, part of its breakfast spreads line,
also won a sofi Award for Outstanding Diet & Lifestyle Product (see p. S21). Suggested retail
price: $34.95/27 ounces. Contact: Marti Kilpatrick, Fromagerie Belle Chevre; 256.423.2238;
