Small but full of character, 'Crottin de Chavignol' has a dense, creamy interior when young, offering a mild, fresh, and slightly tangy flavour with notes of hazelnut and sweet cream. As it matures, the cheese develops a firmer, drier texture, and its flavour intensifies, bringing out deeper, more earthy, nutty, and slightly piquant tones. Its natural bloomy rind, which begins as pale ivory, darkens over time, contributing to its evolving complexity.
This versatile cheese is enjoyed at all stages of ripeness—mild and creamy when young, or firm and full-flavoured when aged. It pairs beautifully with Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, or crisp Loire Valley whites, as well as honey, walnuts, and rustic baguette. It can also be grilled or baked, adding a deliciously caramelised, savoury element to salads and warm dishes.
At Cheesemongery.com, we source only authentic 'Crottin de Chavignol AOP', ensuring its provenance, quality, and traditional craftsmanship. Whether you enjoy it young and fresh or aged and robust, this is a must-have cheese for any true goat’s cheese lover.
