the dairy aristocrat that tastes like a farm and a flower had a tangy argument

means Cheese made from goat's milk, prized for its tangy, slightly earthy flavor and creamy or crumbly texture.

from A plain English compound — "goat" from Old English gāt (related to Latin haedus, a young goat) plus "cheese" from Old English cīese, borrowed early from Latin caseus. But the food long predates the English words: goats were among the first animals humans domesticated, and curdling their milk is one of the oldest dairy crafts, practiced around the Mediterranean and Middle East for thousands of years. The French chèvre, now a fashionable label on cheese counters, simply means "goat."
