Chevrot 200g
Chevrot, you're such a brain. Covered in a delicately wrinkled rind, we cave-age Chevrot to the top of its class, sporting a dense, lemony center, surrounded by a mushroomy, piquant creamline full of earthy intensity. Fashioned from pasteurized goat's milk in a century-old cooperative in Poitou, France, just south of the Loire Valley, each batch of Chevrot is hand-ladled into forms, ensuring that every round maintains a fresh, grassy core that reflects the chalky, mineral-rich soil of Poitou-Charentes. After a few weeks of aging, it emerges with an herbaceous rind redolent of wet slate that gives way to the peppery creamline protecting a cheesecake-rich core. Drizzle with wildflower honey and serve alongside a floral Sancerre to play up the sweet, clean finish of the cheese.
