Laura Chenel's Original Chabis Pure Goat Milk Cheese
What it is
This is a small, fresh goat cheese log made from pure goat's milk. It has a soft, creamy texture and a mild, slightly tangy flavor that is characteristic of fresh goat cheese. The cheese is typically unripened, meaning it is best enjoyed soon after it is made. Its natural richness comes from the quality of the milk used in its production. This cheese is a delightful addition to any cheese board or culinary creation.
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
To best enjoy this fresh goat cheese, allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving. This softens the texture and allows the delicate flavors to fully emerge. It can be easily spread onto crusty bread or crackers. For cooking, it melts beautifully into warm dishes, adding a creamy richness. Consider crumbling it over roasted vegetables or incorporating it into pasta dishes. It also pairs well with fruits and honey, making it a lovely component of a cheese platter.
