Chabichou
This French gourmet cheese is fresh tasting and soft, yet quite close textured. A traditional cheese with a lovely aromatic rind, and becoming sweeter and crumblier as it matures and dries out.
This cheese is best bought during the summer and early fall. However, the creamery-made pasteurized versions of Chabichou du Poitou are also very good and widely available throughout the year. The white paste is firm and chewy when the cheese is young, but ripens to a moist, almost spreadable texture. Serve Chabichou with crusty white rolls or add to a cheese board with a selection of other goats milk cheeses
