Selles-sur-Cher originates from Sologne in Central France.  The cheese is made from goats'-milk and sold in small cylindrical units. It was made for the first time in the 19th century. The fine wood charcoal covering is subtly tainted blue. By contrast the paste of the Selles sur Cher is snow white.
It tastes slightly salty. Along with cheese, its mould is often eaten which has comparatively stronger flavour. The more it is aged, the Selles sur Cher character becomes more pronounced and its nutty flavour is accentuated. At the first taste the Selles sur Cher is faintly heavy and elastic.
It goes well with dry white wines like Cour-Cheverny or red wines like St Nicolas de Bourgueil.
