Product details & serving guidance
Delight in the unique flavors of Crottin de Chevre. A small goat cheese in the Loire Valley crottin style, made with pasteurized goat's milk and sold as a creamy little round with a soft, sweet start.
Pasteurized goat's milk — goat's milk, starters, rennet and salt, and nothing else on the ingredient list.
Loire Valley — the style comes from the Loire, the region famous for its castles, its wines and its cheese.
Soft when young — sweet and soft in its first weeks, which is how most people like it.
Sharper with age — left alone it gets harder and more pungent, which is the other way to like it.
Two cheeses in one — buy one for tonight and one to forget in the fridge for a week.
How to enjoy Eat it with Sancerre, on a board with fruit, or as dessert with a little honey. It is also the cheese to crumble warm over a salad of bitter greens.
Small, modest and honest. Every cheese case should have one.
Storage: Keep refrigerated and follow the package instructions. Contains milk. Check the package for complete ingredients and allergens.
