Lil’ Moo Tasting Notes
Pale yellow in color (due to the natural carotene present in the grass the cows graze) with a melting, gritty texture, Lil’ Moo brings herbaceous, tangy notes with a mild and slightly sweet flavor to the palate.
It resembles a spreadable yogurt/cream cheese… which is excellent when eaten with toast, bread or cracker.
