Petit Sainte-Maure Affinée
Fromagerie Poitou Chèvre · Poitou-Charentes, France
Fresh, tangy and nutty, a small goat's milk log with a wrinkled rind and a creamy edge.
The cheese
This small goat's milk log is made in the style of Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine, the famous AOP cheese of the Loire Valley. Affinée means matured: it is ripened until a thin, wrinkled, bloomy rind forms.
Tasting notes
There is a creamy layer just under the rind and a denser, chalky centre. The flavour is mildly tangy, with the sweetness of goat's milk and a nutty, grassy, earthy finish.
How to enjoy
Slice it into rounds for a board or a salad, or warm it on toast with honey and thyme. Pair it with a Sancerre or another Sauvignon Blanc. Take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving.
