Pélardon is a traditional French goat cheese originating from the Cévennes region. This small, round cheese is made from raw, whole goat's milk and is known for its soft, creamy texture and natural rind that develops during the aging process. The flavor profile of Pélardon evolves with maturation, starting with mild, milky notes and gradually developing more pronounced, earthy, and tangy characteristics.

At Fromagerie Chez Virginie, Pélardon is sourced from select small-scale producers who adhere to traditional cheesemaking methods, ensuring authenticity and high quality. The cheeses are further aged in the shop's own cellars to achieve optimal ripeness and flavor.

Pélardon pairs well with a variety of accompaniments, such as tapenade or Espelette pepper confit, and can be enjoyed simply on a slice of country or hazelnut bread, lightly toasted to enhance its creamy texture. This cheese exemplifies the rich heritage of French artisanal cheesemaking and is a notable offering at Fromagerie Chez Virginie.
