Banon (AOP/PDO) - 8x 80g
Banon AOP/PDO is a rustic, soft-ripened goat’s cheese from Provence, known for its unique chestnut leaf wrapping that enhances its flavour and protects its delicate texture. Produced under Appellation d’Origine Protégée (AOP) status, Banon must be handcrafted in specific areas of Provence using local goat’s milk, ensuring its authenticity and time-honoured tradition.
This cheese is soft and creamy, with a delicate yet earthy aroma that intensifies as it matures. When young, Banon is mild, fresh, and slightly tangy, but as it ripens within its leafy casing, it develops deep nutty, woody, and slightly boozy notes, influenced by the tannins in the chestnut leaves. The rind, softened by the wrapping, takes on complex, rustic flavours, making this cheese a true expression of Provence’s terroir.
Banon AOP/PDO is perfect for cheeseboards, enjoying with fresh bread, or drizzling with honey for a gourmet touch. It pairs beautifully with Provençal white wines like Viognier or a light-bodied rosé, which complement its fresh, tangy profile.
