Poitiou is the most important goat breeding region in France and consequently produces many goat’s milk cheeses. Chabichou du Poitou AOC is a small cylindrical drum of goat cheese that packs a lot of flavor and character into a small package. At any age it is a well-made addition to a cheese selection. When fully mature, it is dense and smooth with a distinct layer next to the rind. The paste of this section will sometimes be runny or very dense depending on the aging technique. The flavor, a delicate and slightly sweet flavor with little salt and a faint acidity, carries rich, goaty aromas with a sometimes pungent bite to the finish. The rind contains white yellow and blue natural molds which are expected, and add to the wonderful flavor of this aged goat cheese.
