French Dairy, Selles sur Cher Berceau Goats Cheese AOP (raw milk)

Selles-sur-Cher is a soft cheese made from raw full-fat goat’s milk, dusted with wood ash to develop a unique rind with strong mineral notes. It is produced in Western Sologne including the Cher region in France. The word ‘Selles’ refers to the shape of the cheese, that is, a disc. It dates back to the 19th century.

The cheese is sold in small cylindrical units weighing around 150g. The texture is that of moist clay and the flavor of the body tastes salty, goaty, hazelnut and grass-like. The more mature it is, the more its nutty flavour is pronounced. If the rind is eaten together with the cheese, it produces a more intense, sharper flavour due to the ash remnants and mould.

It is perfect for the end of a meal, served in salads or with sliced fruit such as apples or pears.
