Our Crottin de Chavignol is made by Emmanuel and Margueritte Melet on their farm in Cosne sur Loire: a town in the Sancerre region of the Loire Valley.

Crottin de Chavignol has long been made in this part of the world: compact little cheeses with a dense, firm texture and citric tang. The Melets produce an exceptional example: the quality of their milk shines through in cheeses that are nutty and sweet, and often sport a fluffy blue rind, which lends the cheeses a moreish hazelnut finish. Enjoy alongside Sancerre or another crisp white wine, or on a cheeseboard accompanied by honey and nuts.
