Haute Goat Creamery Jilli: named after Dean Fearing’s pastry chef, Jill Bates, Jilli is completely handmade. Cheese maker Nancy Patton rolls the fresh cheese into balls that she sprinkles with ash. They are very creamy and taste almost like a brie cheese but with a “bite” in the casing. This is definitely one of the best Texas cheeses we’ve ever tasted and it makes a very sophisticated presentation. Haute Goat Creamery (www.hautegoatcreamery.com) is in Lubbock.
