Boar's Head Brand Chevre Goat Cheese
What it is
This is a small, individually wrapped portion of chevre goat cheese. Chevre is a French term for goat cheese, and this variety is known for its soft, creamy texture and tangy flavor. It is made from pasteurized goat's milk, offering a distinct taste profile that sets it apart from cow's milk cheeses. The convenient single-serving size makes it easy to use for individual meals or snacks.
How people cook with it
This versatile cheese can be enjoyed in many ways, from simple snacking to enhancing complex dishes.
- Spread on crackers
- Melted into sauces
- Crumbled over salads
- Baked into tarts
Before using, allow the goat cheese to come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. This softens the texture and allows its flavors to develop more fully. It can be spread directly onto bread or crackers for a quick snack. For cooking, it melts beautifully into pasta sauces, forming a rich, creamy base. It also adds a delightful tang when crumbled over warm or cold salads, or incorporated into quiches and tarts before baking. Its unique flavor complements both sweet and savory applications.

To maintain freshness, keep any unused portions of the goat cheese tightly wrapped in its original packaging or in an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within a few days of opening to preserve its delicate flavor and texture.
