Coeur de Chevre

Coeur de Chevre is a French cheese made from raw milk of the poitevine goat breed. It's easily recognizable by its heart shape, which is left to ripen in cellars for 7 days after it's been molded by hand. The aromas are fresh and milky, the texture is creamy and smooth, melting in the mouth, while the flavors are salty and slightly spicy, becoming even more pronounced if the cheese is left to age for a few months.

Coeur de Chevre is traditionally wrapped in chestnut leaves which hide the bloomy edible rind underneath. It's recommended to pair it with sparkling white wines or light and fruity reds such as Beaujolais.
