Crottin de Chavignol AOP with raw milk 12x60g
A farmhouse cheese with flavors of hazelnut and wild mushroom.
Its name comes from the Berrichon term “crot” which means “hole”. Thus were called the places on the banks of the rivers where the women washed their linen. The clay soil that bordered these “crots” was used by the peasants who first made oil lamps from it, then cheese molds for draining the curd. “Crot” would have given birth to “Crottin”, the container giving its name to the content.
Made on a delicious base of raw goat's milk from the Sancerre region, the manufacturing steps remain unchanged: curdling is done for 48 hours, draining is done on a fine cloth for 24 hours. The curd obtained is turned once which gives the rounded shape of the Crottin, then salted... The Crottin de Chavignol farmhouse can be tasted from "semi-dry" to "very dry".
