Mothais sur Feuille

Sale price£9.00
Net: 150g Poitou-Charentes, France

Traditional goat cheese from Poitou-Charentes matured on its signature chestnut leaf which serves as natural humidity regulator whilst imparting subtle earthy notes. Made from raw Alpine goat milk and aged 4-7 weeks, this cheese develops complex texture with firm centre and creamy edges for authentic French cheesemaking at its finest.

Origin: Poitou-Charentes, France

This exquisite goat cheese showcases the ingenuity of French cheesemaking, crafted from raw milk produced by Alpine goats and matured for 4 to 7 weeks on its signature chestnut leaf. The leaf serves as a natural humidity regulator, absorbing excess moisture when needed and returning it if the cheese becomes too dry, creating perfect maturation conditions. The thin white bloomy rind develops gentle creases with occasional blue mould dots appearing as the cheese matures, whilst the paste maintains a fine, firm texture that becomes luxuriously creamy around the edges.

The chestnut leaf not only provides natural humidity control but also imparts subtle earthy notes that complement the goat's milk character. The careful balance between firm centre and creamy edges creates textural complexity that evolves with each bite, whilst the raw Alpine goat milk delivers pure, authentic flavour.

Serve at room temperature, keeping the beautiful chestnut leaf as part of the presentation. Perfect on a cheese board where its striking appearance creates visual impact. Pair with honey, walnuts and crusty bread, or enjoy with fresh figs to complement the goat's milk tanginess.

Producer: Made using traditional methods in the Poitou-Charentes region, each cheese is carefully placed on its chestnut leaf and monitored throughout the 4-7 week maturation process to achieve the perfect balance of texture and flavour.
