Product Description

The distinguishing truncated pyramid shape of the cheese is said to have originated when Napoleon angered by the resemblance to Egyptian pyramids, cut off the top of a perfect pyramid shaped cheese with his sword after returning from a disastrous campaign in Egypt. This family run dairy makes traditional goat’s milk cheeses on the borders of Touraine, Berry and Sologne, in the Centre region of France.

Matured under a wrinkled geotrychum rind, each cheese is covered with salted, ground charcoal and cellared for 4 weeks. When mature, the cheese looks quite rustic with flecks of blue mould on the rind. The ivory white paste is sweet, salty with a slightly acidic flavour and the fine texture changes as the cheese ages from soft to firm.
