Fouchtra

Fouchtra is a French cheese hailing from Cantal in Auvergne. The cheese is made from pasteurized goat's (or sometimes cow's) milk and it's usually left to age for 3 months before it's sold. Underneath its moldy rind, the texture is soft and silky.

The flavors are subtle, mild, and distinctive, with an almondy aftertaste. It's recommended to pair this semi-soft cheese with full-bodied red wines such as Vacqueyras or Saint Joseph. In Auvergne, fouchtra is also a swear word.
