Shop products for Chevre 
Fine goats’-milk cheeses slice easily and are ideal for grilling and salads.
Chèvre is the French word for “goat” and for the cheese made from goats’ milk. Most goat’s milk cheese now sold under this name is a fresh (unaged), soft, white cheese with a texture somewhat like cream cheese, but with a pungent or tangy flavour. It is often hand-made, and may be sold shaped into small or large logs, little rounds, or as a spread. When it is aged, chèvre becomes a hard cheese.
Varieties
Traditional French chèvre is produced in larger logs that can be sliced. It is sold fresh, or aged 2 to 10 days after it is made.
This is a goats’ milk cheese, and as a type, these cheeses are generally available aged to different stages: young and creamy, mild (with herbs), or aged, with a hard texture and nutty flavour. Produced all over the world, they come in a wide array of fine varieties. The chèvre known as Picodon, for example, is soaked in wine or brandy. Goats’ milk cheeses are also available in a cream-cheese style.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Fine goats’ milk cheeses are wonderful table cheeses. They slice easily and are ideal for grilling. The flavour of goats’ milk cheeses is complemented by that of almonds (especially toasted almonds), walnuts, and hazelnuts, and olives. Pair these cheeses with whole-wheat walnut bread for a delicious snack or hors d’oeuvre, or with salads of fresh greens and fruit.
