Crottin de Chavignol
What is Crottin de Chavignol Cheese?
Originating from the village of Chavignol in the Centre Val de Loire region of France, Crottin de Chavignol is a raw goat's milk cheese with AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) status. This designation requires the cheese to be produced in the Chavignol area and adhere to specific traditional production methods.
Made from 100% raw milk of Alpine goats, this small, cylindrical cheese features a unique, wrinkled rind that develops a bluish tint with age. As it matures fully, the cheese develops a firmer, crumbly texture and a more robust, goaty taste.
Crottin de Champol is a pasteurized version of AOC Crottin de Chavignol.
Crottin de Chavignol can be sliced into salads or used in various hot and cold dishes. It complements white wines, especially those hailing from the Sancerre region.
