Cheese-Fabrication-Farmstead-Goat

Goats cheese or ch�vre cheese is manufactured from goats milk and ch�vre is French language for goat. The best goat cheese are without a doubt from farmstead-goat cheese

France is the principal producer of goats cheese and the best farmstead-goats cheese in the world and the main regions are the Loire valley and Poitou, and history has it that goats were brought in by the moors in the 8th century. I have visited many of the fromageries in the Poitou region and it is a trip well worth doing. I tasted so many great goat cheeses while doing the goat circuit.

Farmstead-goat cheeses include many variations on great types such as Chabis, Crottin de Chavignol, Pelardon, Picodon, Pouligny Saint-Pierre, Rocamadour, Sainte-Maure de Touraine (this I love), Chabichou de Poitou (and this is divine) and Valen�ay.
