Capricious is a brand of aged goat's milk cheese from the United States. The wheels turn hard, pale ivory, and a little granular, which sets the brand apart from fresh goat cheese. A natural rind covers the outside. The flavor leans sweet and nutty, with a light caramel note and a tangy finish. It is a cheese for grating and for a board, not a soft spread, and the name refers to this brand rather than to every firm goat cheese in the country.
