FAQ:
Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: Yes! You can prepare the log up to 2 days in advance. Store it wrapped in plastic in the fridge, and coat it with nuts just before serving for freshness.
Q: What cheeses can I use if I don’t like goat cheese?
A: Cream cheese on its own works well, or try mascarpone or ricotta for a milder option.
Q: Can I freeze the cheese log?
A: It's best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze it (without the nut coating) for up to a month. Thaw overnight in the fridge and roll in nuts just before serving.
