Valençay Jaquin AOC – French Ash-Rinded Goat Cheese
Valençay Jaquin AOC 220g – French Ash-Rinded Goat Cheese
Milk: Goat
Origin: France (Loire Valley)
Designation: AOC / AOP
Valençay Jaquin AOC is a classic French goat's milk cheese from the Loire Valley, instantly recognizable by its distinctive truncated pyramid shape and natural ash-coated rind. Produced by Jaquin, a renowned cheesemaker in the region, this traditionally surface-ripened cheese offers a fresh, tangy profile when young that evolves into a more rounded, nutty, and slightly earthy flavour as it matures. The vegetable ash helps regulate moisture and acidity, contributing to its balanced ripening.
Elegant and expressive, Valençay Jaquin AOC is a benchmark of traditional French chèvre.
Pairs well with:
Fresh baguette, honey, pears, apples, walnuts, herbs, Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé), dry Chenin Blanc, light rosé.
