Bijou is an American cheese hailing from Vermont. The cheese is made from pasteurized goat's milk and it's left to age for 30 days. During the maturation period, Bijou (jewel in French) forms a wrinkly mold-ripened rind with a sweet and yeasty aroma.
Underneath it, the texture is smooth and creamy. The flavors are tangy, sharp, yeasty, clean, milky, and sweet, with hints of hazelnuts and flowers. It's recommended to serve this small hand-shaped button of cheese with pickled cherries, pancetta, fig jam, and roasted hazelnuts.

The aromas are milky and herbal with hints of onions and roasted beef, and the flavors are fruity, milky, herbaceous, pungent, and savory.
It's recommended to use it in a tartiflette – broil the cheese over roasted potatoes, lardons, and leeks, then pair it with a glass of Mondeuse. Other pairings include potato chips, pickles, and walnut Dijon mustard.
