 For over a year we have been crafting a new line of artisanal aged goat cheeses including a French style crottin called Bijou. The Fresh Crottin is a younger, lighter version of the Bijou. We still use the secret cultures, yeast and mold that are added to the milk in the early stage of the maturation. We wrap the cheese just after being shaped by hand and skip the aging in our cave, to deliver a fresh, slightly floral and lemony, creamy cheese with a nutty finish.
For more information on how to store or serve Fresh Crottin, visit "Cheese Talk".
