This fresh goats' sheese, develops all its taste and aroma in the maturing process.
The cheese is ideal for the addition of herbs and spices and these local Deux-Sèvres small cheeses are visually very attractive, with a fresh taste taking up the extra flavours.
Variations include pepper and mixed herbs.
It is for this reason that the exclusive producer of the cheese suggests you to eat this cheese "demi sec" (half dry), when its crushed surface is tainted gray/blue and the pâté is firm and soft, but at the same time mellow.
It has a delicious subtle taste of goat. |
