Dairy Goat and Cheese Competition at St Gorran School
Goat enthusiasts show their pride and joy
In partnership with:
Overview
Goat lovers bring their nannies and billies to St Gorran School in an exhibition of dairy goats and cheese making. Judges cast their eye over the best groomed goats and prizes are awarded for the handsomest as well as the best tasting goat's cheese. Making cheese from goat's milk is a centuries old tradition, it may be made in a domestic kitchen and does not need refrigeration. Cornish goat's cheese is well-known for its creamy flavour due in part to free grazing goats.
St Gorran School in St Goran Parish near St Austell is likely to be the old Gorran Board School built in the 1870s by Silvanus Trevail, the most prominent Cornish architect of the 19th century. The original school was destroyed by a fire in 1967 and a new one was built.
