BUCHETTE DE FROMAGE DE CHEVRE
The Product
Log-shaped goat cheese (bûchette means "little log"), a classic Loire Valley style. Can be enjoyed fresh or aged, developing from creamy-mild to firm-tangy.
Origin & Terroir
The bûchette shape is traditional to the Loire Valley, France's goat cheese heartland. The region's climate and grasses create exceptional goat milk that shines in fresh cheeses.
How to Enjoy
Slice into rounds for salads or canapés. Fresh: mild and spreadable. Aged: firm and tangy, excellent grilled. Pair with Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, or Sauvignon Blanc. Drizzle with honey for sweet-savory contrast.
Did You Know?
The log shape evolved for practical reasons - easy to slice into uniform rounds. As the cheese ages, the exterior develops a wrinkled rind while the interior becomes denser. Many French regions make bûchettes, but Loire versions are most famous.
