Goya (Bitter Melon)

Goya is a typical Okinawan ingredient. Raw, it is bitter, which is why it's called the bitter melon, but the bitterness is in the juice. We put it in a food dehydrator to take out the liquid and with it, the bitterness. The colour, however, does remain. And when the powdered dried goya is added to the cheese, it gives it a gentle green colour.
There is a very mild goya taste to this cheese, but our customers like it mostly for its striking colour. It is popular with hotels and large restaurants that offer a cheese plate and wish to present a variety of cheeses.

Utterly delicious as well as unusual and distinctive, thank you!
I thought I was sending it as a year-end gift, but the recipient was confused because the sender's name wasn't written on the item.
I understand that you don't understand Japanese customs very well, but I thought it was a little difficult to order.
I tried every other cheese in the range before tentatively ordering this one, because I hate goya but have loved everything else that came from this website. As it turns out, it’s deftly made with a delicious accent of the bitter gourd and I will be reordering.
塩分少なめで美味しかった

泡盛とも相性ばっちりです！
