Description

In 1947, the Jacquin family established a small dairy in the region of Loire focusing on many of these local specialities, with present day production now including both traditional and modern goat cheeses, using both raw and pasteurised milk.

One of the grander formats they produce is Bûche de luçay, a typical, log-shaped cheese that takes its name from nearby Luçay-le-Mâle. Fresh, salted curds are covered with Penicillium Candidum and ripened in humid rooms to encourage the moulds to form a velvety white coat. Transported in a special ‘cloche’ to ensure the mould continues to ripen, this chevre has a dry, crumbly centre surrounded by a ring of soft ripened goat’s cheese, all blanketed in a soft velvet-like rind. The flavour is rich and creamy with a traditional goat’s milk tang.

Country of origin: France
Region, town: La Vernelle, Centre-Val de Loire region
Source of milk: Goat's Milk

Serving suggestion: Buche de Chevre can be served warm on salads or with fruits for dessert. It could also be used as a dressing for quiches and canapés. Simply add some honey to sweeten this bold taste!

Wine Pairing: Pair with a Sauvignon Blanc, sparkling, champagne or a Cabernet Franc red wine, like a Chinon.

*All our cheeses are cut by hand so the weight may vary slightly :)
