A semi-soft chevre, this raw milk cheese is made in the Poitou-Charentes region in France. It has a white, bloomy rind, and velvety, spreadable texture. It comes in a truncated cylindrical shape, called a “bonde.”
It has a slight gamey aroma, and its flavour is sweet and delicate, with a salty, tangy hint. As it ages, its taste becomes more savoury, nutty and robust. This PDO cheese is mainly produced by traditional farmers and retailers in the Poitou region.
