Description
This 15 minute recipe is quick, easy and very, very tasty. Our beetroot is grown, cooked and packed in East Cork and boasts a beautiful earthiness, which enhances the creaminess of the goat’s cheese and the sweetness of the Parma ham. This recipe uses St Tola Greek Style Cheese – a firm cheese made with 100% Irish goat milk, but you can use any goat’s cheese of choice.
