Located in:Cheese, France

Chabichou du Poitou was first created way back in the eighth century, and has a long and interesting history. One of the most popular cheeses in Arabia, its name is derived from the Arabic word "chebli", which means goat. Today, Poitou-Charentes, situated in the Loire Valley, is the most important goat cheese region of France. This cylindrical cheese, with a hard, yet edible rind and a subtle goat's milk flavor, pairs perfectly with Loire wines such as Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé. Enjoy it as a dessert cheese or as part of the meal shaved into salads or heated and served atop crusty French bread as an hors d'oeuvre.

Made from goat's milk.

Comments about Chabichou du Poitou:

The Chabichou du Poitou was served with crusty french bread. It has a sharply expressive beginning but is buttery smooth and extremely flavorful. This isn't a taste for beginners, but for one who loves an aromatic somewhat pungent taste. It makes for a great appetizer or desert cheese.

[...] I ate it all in two days. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I have ordered more. I have tried ALL the goat cheese [...]- and this has that perfect creamy grassy fresh smell that the best young goat cheeses have. It's just delectable.
