Soignon Ste Maure Selection Goat Cheese Log
What it is
This is a French goat cheese log, known as a bûche de chèvre. It is made from pasteurized goat's milk and has a bloomy rind. The cheese is aged, which develops its characteristic flavor and texture. The log shape makes it easy to slice and serve. It offers a balance of creamy and firm textures as it ages.
How people cook with it
This versatile cheese is excellent for both cooking and enjoying on its own.
- On a cheese board
- In salads
- Baked with herbs
- Spread on crackers
Allow the cheese to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture. It can be sliced and served as part of a cheese platter, crumbled over salads, or used as a topping for baked dishes. When heated, it becomes wonderfully creamy and melts well, making it suitable for gratins or as a spread. Its distinct flavor pairs well with fruits, nuts, and crusty bread.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to younger, fresher goat cheeses, this aged bûche de chèvre has a more developed flavor profile. The bloomy rind contributes a subtle earthy note, and the interior paste becomes denser and more complex in taste as it matures.
Who it is for
Home cooks and cheese enthusiasts who appreciate a classic French goat cheese.
How to keep the rest
After opening, wrap any remaining cheese tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Store it in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within a week to maintain its optimal freshness and flavor. Avoid storing it in airtight containers that can trap moisture.
