Bucheron

Bûcheron (sometimes Boucheron, Bucherone, Boucherond, or Bucherondin) is a goat's milk cheese native to the Loire Valley in France.

[1] Semi-aged, ripening for 5 to 10 weeks, Bucheron is produced as short logs that weigh 3 to 4 pounds (1.4 to 1.8 kg)[1] that are sliced and sold as small rounds in food stores.

Bûcheron has an ivory-colored pâte surrounded by a bloomy white rind.

As it ages, is gets a softer texture and a sharper, more intense taste.

It is a good cheese for salads or for snacking with hearty grained breads, crackers, grapes and fresh figs.
