The Story
Made by Savencia Fromage & Dairy, the second largest cheese group in France, this pasteurised, bloomy goat’s log is part of the Chavroux family of goat’s cheese products, which also includes a fresh, pyramid shaped cheese. Made with goat’s milk and cream, the cheese develops a darker layer beneath the rind as it matures.
The Character
The cheese has a mild flavour and rich, creamy texture with more intense goat notes beneath the white rind.
Perfect Partners
Try with a dry white wine, such as Chablis, or a medium red, such as Beaujolais.
