About Crottin cheese

Crottin is a small French goat's-milk cheese, traditionally made as a compact, round or slightly flattened individual cheese. It is eaten fresh or aged, on its own or as part of a meal, and may also be warmed or used in cooking.

A fresh crottin has a soft, moist interior and a mild, tangy dairy flavour; with aging, the rind dries and the paste becomes firmer, more crumbly and more pronounced in flavour. The name covers cheeses of varying age, rind development and production, rather than one uniform formulation.
