Couronne Lochoise is a soft and creamy raw goat's milk cheese, originating in the farmlands of the Loches area of Touraine in the Loire Valley, France.
Its name literally translates to "Crown of Loches", which references its doughnut shape.
The cheese has a generous flavour of the rich pasture lands of the Touraine.
When allowed to mature to its peak of perfection the cheese has a creamy texture and taste of buttered pastry.
The Couronne Lochoise is like the moto of the region : "douceur de vivre" (trans. The sweetness of life, the sweetness of living.) |
