Description
Reviews

Crottin de Chavignol originates from the Loire, Chavignol in France. It is made from milk of the alpine goats, which can be easily recognized by their thick brown coats.

It is one of those rarest cheeses that can be eaten at various stages of their affinage. Young (jeune), its dough is compact and the rind is white. After about six weeks (bleuté), its flavour becomes more robust and the rind becomes harder. A fully matured cheese (affiné) has a crumbly dough and a hard fluffy rind with beautiful blue colour.

The blue surface moulds on the rind add complexity to the flavor and are perfectly safe to eat!

Our Crottin de Chavignol is awarded AOP ("Appellation d’Origine Protégée", which means Protected Designation of Origin). The AOP mark is the highest distinction awarded by the European Union and confirms the excellence of a product, its artisanship and unimpeachable quality.
