Banon is a raw goat milk cheese fabricated in the village of Banon in the Haute-Provence Alps of France. The lovely 100 gram chèvre is presented wrapped in chestnut leaves and tied with raffia.
Le Banon cheese is golden cream coloured with a soft moist pungent uncooked un-pressed paste. It has a nice sweet nutty taste with a lot of character. Its unique flavor is developed when the cheese is matured in the chestnut leaves. Le Banon was awarded AOC status in 2003.
