What it is
Bonne Bouche is a soft, bloomy rind goat cheese made by Vermont Creamery. It is a fresh cheese that is aged for a short period, developing a delicate, edible rind. The interior paste is typically creamy and smooth, with a mild, tangy flavor that is characteristic of goat milk. This cheese is known for its approachable taste and versatile nature, making it a popular choice for cheese boards and culinary applications.

- Spread on crackers
- Melted into sauces
- Baked with honey
- Added to salads
Bonne Bouche can be enjoyed straight from the refrigerator, allowing its creamy paste to soften. It is excellent served at room temperature on a cheese board with crusty bread, fruit, and nuts. For a warm preparation, it can be baked until gooey and served with a drizzle of honey or jam. It also melts beautifully into pasta sauces, gratins, or as a topping for pizzas. The bloomy rind is edible and adds a subtle earthy note to the overall flavor profile.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to firmer goat cheeses, Bonne Bouche is much softer and creamier due to its shorter aging time and bloomy rind. Its flavor is generally milder and more delicate than some aged goat cheeses, offering a tanginess that is balanced by its rich texture.
Who it is for
Home cooks and cheese enthusiasts who appreciate a mild, creamy goat cheese will enjoy this product.
How to keep the rest
To store leftover Bonne Bouche, wrap it tightly in its original packaging or parchment paper, then place it in a resealable container or bag. Keep it refrigerated. It is best consumed within a few days of opening to maintain its optimal texture and flavor.
