Rocamadour is a small, flat, very soft cheese made from raw goat's milk. The cheese has a natural edible rind. It's named after the village of Rocamadour in the French region of Lot. The cheese matures for about 15 days, but it can be left to mature a few months more to develop a stronger, sharper flavor.
It weighs only 35 grams, and its flavor is nutty, fresh, and creamy. Young Rocamadour goes well on hot toasts, and it can be used in salads or paired with dry white wines, while mature Rocamadour is usually eaten at the end of a meal, and it's reccomended to pair it with full-bodied red wines.
