About Crottin de Chavignol cheese

Crottin de Chavignol is a small French goat's-milk cheese associated with the Chavignol area of the Loire Valley. It is eaten at different stages of ripeness, served as a table cheese or used in cooking, including when warmed.

The small, round cheese has a natural rind that develops as it ages. Young examples are relatively moist and mild; more mature ones are firmer, drier and more pronounced, with a tangy, goaty flavour. Ripeness and aging therefore produce noticeable variation in texture and taste.
