Vermont Creamery Bonne Bouche 4 oz
This item is currently unavailable.
French for "tasty little bite", the Bonne Bouche is the flagship of Vermont Creamery's signature aged goat cheeses. Made with pasteurized goat's milk, the curd is carefully hand-ladled into molds, lightly sprinkled with ash, and aged just long enough to develop that signature wrinkly rind. If you've broken into a young wheel, the scent of fresh bread will waft through the air, and a fresh cream flavor envelopes the palate. Allow it to age a bit more, and those creamy notes turn into tangy, piquant flavors with an oozing creamline. Reminiscent of Loire Valley favorites like Selles Sur Cher, Bonne Bouche loves a glass of Sancerre.

Farmhouse Ales & Sours
Farmhouse, Saison, Bière de Garde, Lambic, Sour BeerFarmhouse ales, instead of being driven by malt or hops, depend on the yeast for their distinctive spicy, floral, and tart flavors. Commonly made by brewers in France and Belgium, farmhouse ales are usually light in color and body and quite effervescent. From time to time, brewers allow wild yeasts to ferment the beer, resulting in a brew that falls somewhere in between pleasantly bright to bracingly sour.
