My new favorite cheese for this sort of use is **Capricho de Cabra**, a silky-textured fresh goat cheese from Spain. Call it chevre if you like, but that's the French word for goat cheese. I like the word "capricho," which, like the English caprice, suggests something that seemed like a good idea at the time. In fact, when I investigated the word's etymology, I learned that "caprice" derives from the Latin for "goat." Before it came to mean a whim, caprice referred to a goat's leap.

Cheese caprice
Is there no way of finding out how it's made? It'd sure help!

: IMO works better than "whim/whimsy" which both sound slightly rude to me...

I don't find that they sound slightly rude, but don't associate the words with food but with an action.
