Figuette

Figuette is a small fig-shaped cheese originating from the Pyrénées. The cheese is made from raw goat's milk and it ages from 1 to 3 weeks. Sometimes, it's covered with paprika, ash, or herbs to make it more decorative. The flavors are sweet and lactic, and the texture is thick, dense, and creamy.

On the inside, there are a few delicate lines of ash running through the body. It's recommended to serve Figuette with honey, which enhances its sweetness and tones down its goaty flavors. Pair it with light Bergerac wines.
