Sainte Maure De Touraine, Goats Milk 250g

Sainte Maure Touraine Goat is 250g of Sainte-Maure de Touraine AOP, the celebrated Loire Valley goat’s cheese log with a straw running through the centre and a distinctive ash-dusted rind. Sainte Maure Touraine goat is one of the most distinctive French chèvres. As a result, the AOP log format creates one of the most visually distinctive sliced cheeses. Furthermore, Loire Valley AOP guarantees genuine Touraine goat’s milk. In particular, pair with Vouvray or Sancerre for the finest Loire Valley experience.

About Sainte Maure Touraine Goat

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 Sainte Maure Touraine Goat 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 Sainte Maure Touraine Goat

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:

• Good baguette, walnut bread or crackers alongside.
• Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé or a crisp Muscadet — the classic goat’s cheese wines.
• Walnuts, honey and fresh herbs for the cheese board.
• Green salad with lardons, croutons and sherry vinegar for the bistro classic.

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, Sainte Maure Touraine Goat 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.
