Arriving in the high desert of California in the summer of 2006, award-winning cheese producers Julian and Carol Pearce of Soledad Goats sought refuge from the cold, cloud covered skies of England where they had previously spent 10 years gaining knowledge and experience in the cheese-making business. Bringing years of experience to their new California home, a variety of goat breeds are now thriving in their desert home in Mojave which is located at the base of the prominent local butte called Soledad Mountain. The goats include La Manchas (goats with attitude), Nubians (the talkers of the bunch), and Alpines (the sweet natured ones). It is this combination of milks and personalities from the diversity of breeds that gives the cheese it's unique flavor.
