Pantysgawn is a brand of soft goat cheese from the United Kingdom, and it is made in Wales. The milk is pasteurized goat's milk, and the cheese is white, creamy, and rindless. It is sold in small logs and in little rounds. The taste is gently salty, with a light lemon tang and a clean dairy finish. Shoppers also meet it under the spellings Pant-Ysgawn and Pant-Ys-Gawn.
