Chabichou du Poitou is manufactured on a small area in the Poitou, Berry and Perigord regions of France. The cheese is made with whole fresh goat’s milk.
The cheese comes in the shape of a truncated cylinder called "bonde".
Upon ageing, Chabichou develops a characteristic, edible wrinkled rind dotted with occasional gray patches. Cut the cheese and it reveals a firm, creamy “bright white” interior but not before unwinding a thin buttery layer. Even though it smells typically “goaty”, the flavours are sweet with a bit of salty and tangy edge at the end. As the cheese ages, it becomes savory, piquant and nutty.
It goes well with light white wine, Champagne, and pilsner beer.
