Chabichou

Type: Soft
Milk: Pasteurised goats milk
Rennet: Animal
Location: Nouvelle Aquitaine, France

Chabichou hails from the Poitou Chevre creamery in Bougon, Poitou-Charentes. The dairy has been in existence since 1906 when local goat farmers joined together to form a dairy to turn all their milk into cheese. In 2016 a family firm Poitou-Chevre from the neighbouring village took over the Bougon dairy and its production is solely traditional local cheeses. The dairy is one of our larger suppliers but they maintain impressive quality standards and support a range of local farmers in the region farming mainly Alpine & Saanen goats. A gentle yet pleasing goats cheese with an influence on its flavour from the yeasty goetrichum rind which lends a subtle animal flavour with hints of hazelnut. An immensely enjoyable cheese to eat.
