Chèvréchard

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Chèvréchard is a type of cheese originating from France. It is a soft, creamy cheese made from goat's milk. The cheese is known for its distinctive tangy flavor and smooth texture.

History[edit | edit source]

Chèvréchard has a long history in France, with records of its production dating back to the Middle Ages. It was traditionally made by farmers in the rural regions of the country, particularly in the Loire Valley. The cheese was often made in small batches and sold at local markets.

Production[edit | edit source]

The production of Chèvréchard involves a specific process. The goat's milk is first pasteurized to kill any harmful bacteria. It is then curdled using a starter culture and rennet. The curds are drained and then aged for a period of time to develop the cheese's characteristic flavor and texture.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Chèvréchard is a white cheese with a soft, creamy texture. It has a tangy flavor that is characteristic of goat's milk cheeses. The cheese is often served with bread or crackers, and it pairs well with a variety of wines, particularly those from the Loire Valley.
