Hafenkase

Hafenkase is a Mikitivity goat cheese that originates from the eastern slopes of the Thuvian mountains in the Brey and Thoris cantons. The cheese is named after the seat of Thoris canton, Hafenheim, which remains the largest producer of Hafenkase. Originally consumption of the cheese was primarily limited to these two cantons, but with the advent of rail in Mikitivity demand for Hafenkase spread throughout the nation.

Made from the finest milk from pasture raised Rohgen goats, the hard white cheese is aged two to six months in natural caves that keep a high and constant humidity of around 90% and temperatures around 13°C (55°F). Like most goat cheeses, Hafenkase has a slight acidic flavour and a lower lactose content (which makes the cheese easier to digest for infants and lactose intolerant people). Hafenkase also contians more vitamin A and B than many cow cheeses. Since hafenkase is a hard cheese, it has more calories than many other goat cheeses.
