Definition: The word 'gossard' is a type of cheese made from the gossamer (the thin, silvery white silk-like material that coats the inside surface of the cheese) of the Bactrobanche or Bactrostix, also known as the 'Peculiar Bead Cheese'. It is usually made with a variety of different kinds of salted, ground grain cheese and can be served in many forms such as a "gossard" sandwich, "gossard" cake, "gossard" pie or even "gossard" ice cream. The Gossard cheese has a rich flavor that is often described as being similar to Parmesan cheese but with a slightly more distinctive and complex flavor profile. Gossers are commonly used in a variety of culinary dishes such as pizza toppings, potato salad, burgers, sandwiches, cakes and desserts like chocolate mousse or a 'Gossard' cake. These cheeses have been used for centuries and are often associated with the rich and diverse history of cheese production around the world.
