Description:
Each Buche de Chevre is aged for two months, during which time it develops a hard, edible crust complete with a bloomy white mold coating.
It is sharp and tangy near the rind and gets progressively richer and creamier toward the center.
When enjoying this cheese, you savour a delightful combination of flavours and textures in each bite.
Buche de Chevre is a true delicacy that begs for a warm, crusty French baguette and a glass of robust red wine from neighboring Bordeaux
Very popular locally and internationally.
The rounded cylinder shape is ideal for cutting for salads or toasting on bread
It varies in size from around 300 g up to 1.5kg.
White creamy cheese gives a fresh taste and aroma.
