Pico is a small 100 g (3.5 oz) chèvre that
comes in its own cute little round wooden box. It is an uncooked, unpressed
soft cheese with an elegant creased natural rind that smells of fresh hay. The
soft paste and rind are cream coloured with slight golden streaks.
Pico has a
fine and smooth texture, a rich creamy buttery nutty flavour with a subtle goat
tang. Pico pairs nicely with a fruity champagne or a sparkling wine.
Pico is produced by Fromagerie la
Picandine in Saint-Astier. Picandine have been making fresh and refined
goat-milk cheeses since 1990, among them the famous Cabécou du Périgord.
