Clochette (French for "little bell") is a bell-shaped, mold-ripened goat cheese from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in France that is made by Chèvréchard, a goat cheese maker.
Clochette is matured for two weeks and has a shelf life of about 45 days.
[1] It has a wrinkled, edible white rind; and a firm, dense, velvety texture.
The older the clochette, the more wrinkled its surface and the firmer its inner texture.
Clochette cheese is created mainly during the summertime, from March to sometime in fall.
