Selles-Sur-Cher 6 oz
This item is currently unavailable.
Unaged goat’s milk cheese arrives from France’s Loire Valley to Murray’s aging caves, where it’s coated in vegetable ash and salt which develops the perfect rind. Thin and cohesive, the rind cloaks a tiny, oozing creamline atop a fluffy paste with the texture of damp clay. The mineral flavor of the rind gives way to a briny, tangy center with notes of freshly-mowed grass. Balance its earthy notes with some Rustic Bakery Meyer Lemon Shortbread cookies and a spoonful of honey.
