Crottin De Chavignol, Goats Cheese 60g

Crottin De Chavignol Cheese is 60g of Crottin de Chavignol AOP, the celebrated individual French goat’s cheese from the Berry region, a small compact wheel that varies from mild and fresh to intensely flavoured with age. Crottin De Chavignol cheese is the most celebrated individual French chèvre. As a result, at 60g this is exactly the right individual serving for a cheese course or a warm salad croûton. Furthermore, AOP guarantees genuine Berry region production. In particular, grilled on a croûton over a salad with lardons is the definitive preparation.

About Crottin De Chavignol Cheese

We source French goat’s cheese from specialist producers in the Loire valley and Poitou-Charentes. In particular, Loire Valley chèvres have been produced since the eighth century and carry AOP protection. As a result, a Crottin de Chavignol or Sainte-Maure de Touraine is one of the most terroir-driven cheeses in France. Furthermore, French goat’s cheese varies dramatically with age — from fresh and mild to fully aged and intense. However, the finest French chèvre suits both a cheese board and a cooking role. In particular, ash-covered varieties develop a distinctive earthy character from the activated charcoal rind. Additionally, most French goat’s cheeses suit Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé or Muscadet. That depth of Loire Valley tradition defines every French goat’s cheese we offer. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cheese lovers.

Why Choose Crottin De Chavignol Cheese From Us

Using French goat’s cheese well rewards understanding its versatility. In contrast to serving only on a board, French chèvre suits warm salads, baked toast and cooking applications equally. As a result, a grilled Crottin on a croûton over a salad with lardons and walnuts is one of the great French bistro preparations. Furthermore, fresh goat’s cheese suits direct eating with good honey and good bread. However, aged goat’s cheese becomes firm and more intensely flavoured — excellent for grating over pasta. In particular, Loire Valley chèvre pairs most naturally with Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé. Moreover, baked goat’s cheese on sourdough toast makes an outstanding simple starter. Additionally, the ash-coated varieties add a subtle earthiness to their character. That versatility from board to kitchen defines French goat’s cheese.

How to Serve Crottin De Chavignol Cheese

To get the very best from it:

• Serve at room temperature on a cheese board with good baguette or crackers.
• Crumble warm over a green salad with walnuts, lardons and a sherry vinegar dressing.
• Furthermore, bake in a slice on toasted sourdough under the grill for a simple outstanding starter.
• Additionally, serve as a pure cheese course with a glass of Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé.

Perfect Pairings

This product pairs beautifully with:

• Sancerre — the neighbouring Loire wine and the definitive pairing.
• Warm salad with lardons, walnuts and a sherry vinegar dressing.
• Good baguette for the simplest cheese board preparation.
• A glass of Pouilly-Fumé or Quincy as an alternative Loire white alongside.

Storage: Keep refrigerated. Furthermore, consume within 5 to 7 days, checking the use-by date. However, always remove from the fridge 45 to 60 minutes before serving. Soft cheese is at its best at full room temperature.

However you serve it, Crottin De Chavignol Cheese brings a character that only genuine artisan cheese can deliver. Moreover, great cheese always rewards good bread, the right wine and serving at room temperature.
