Le Chevrot is an exquisite goat-milk cheese made in France's
Vallée de La Loire.
Le Chevrot is produced by Sèvre et Belle,
a small co-op created and run by people in the village of Celles-sur-Belle in
the Poitou-Charentes region in western France. Through the 100 years Sèvre et
Belle have been making goat cheese, they has remained faithful to tradition
while constantly adapting to advances in technology.
Le Chevrot is a small 5 cm (2") high
200 g (7 oz) goat-milk cheese that is produced in both raw and pasteurised milk
versions. This chèvre is a "living" cheese, meaning the cheese continues
to ripen when it is kept refrigerated at a temperature of 4-6°C. When Le Chevrot is young it is soft, creamy
and mild then as the cheese matures it becomes dryer and firmer and the
characteristic goat taste is increased to perfection. A younger Chevrot pairs
nicely with white wine and a more mature Chevrot is well appreciated with a
bolder red.
Sèvre et Belle dairy also produces award
winning barrel-churned butter and other goat milk cheeses among them Cabridoux
and Le Chèvre d'Or.
