Chabichou du Poitou

Chabichou du Poitou is a soft cheese made from full-fat goat's milk, with a characteristic appearance - it is shaped like a small cone called bonde, and it has a thin, wrinkled, white-grayish rind. It usually matures for 10-14 days before it's ready to be sold, but it can also mature for 5-6 weeks in order to develop a stronger taste.

Its texture will become crumbly on the inside during the maturation process. Its taste is sweet, salty and tangy, similar to lemon zest when the cheese is young, or spicy and nutty when well-matured. Chabichou goes well with lighter, white wines, sparkling wines and beer, or with some drizzled honey as a dessert meal.
