Pélardon des Cévennes

Pélardon des Cévennes is a traditional tomme-style cheese originating from Languedoc. The cheese is made from raw goat's milk, and it's available from March to October. The maturation period is 2 to 3 weeks. Underneath its thin, wrinkly, and moldy natural rind, the texture is soft and creamy.

The aromas are goaty, while the flavors are fruity and acidic. When young, the flavors are reminiscent of sour cream and walnut, and when aged, the aromas are goaty, nutty, and sweet. It's recommended to pair the cheese with a glass of red wine such as Faugères.
