About the Cheese
One of France’s most iconic goat’s milk cheeses, this small, delicate cheese is matured for around 10 days to develop flavour while retaining its fresh, youthful character.
At this stage, the paste is smooth and creamy with a light, slightly crumbly centre. Bright citrus notes are balanced by gentle nuttiness and subtle grassy flavours, creating a cheese that is elegant, refreshing and wonderfully approachable.
Its clean, tangy profile makes it a perfect introduction to artisan goat’s milk cheese, while its depth and complexity continue to delight seasoned cheese lovers. Enjoy with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, a glass of Loire Valley rosé, or simply with fresh bread.
