Itineraire des Saveurs Sainte Maure de Touraine Goat Cheese

This elongated goat's cheese with an ivory paste has been celebrated as a gastronomic treasure of Touraine for centuries. Made exclusively from raw goat's milk to preserve all the typicity of its terroir, the cheese is moulded, then drained naturally. When removed from the mould, the cheese is salted, sprinkled with charcoal and a rye straw (engraved with the producer's name) is inserted into its centre. This serves to strengthen the product and is also a sign of recognition and a guarantee of origin.

Sainte-Maure de Touraine has had the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée since 1990 and the Appellation d'Origine Protégée since 1996.

The protected designation of origin is the European equivalent of the controlled designation of origin, which is a national recognition, implying a close link between the product, the terroir and human talent. PDO offers a guarantee of the origin of the product and of traditional manufacturing methods. It gives the cheese all its typicity.

To be recognised as PDO, the cheese must:

• come from a defined and delimited production area with milk from the same area
• meet specific production conditions
• have a recognised reputation and history
• be subject to an approval and control procedure

Serving recommendation

French cheeses are renowned worldwide for their special texture, pungent aroma and specific appearance. Not recommended for consumption by pregnant women, newborns, immunocompromised individuals.

Replace dessert with cheese. Instead of ending your meal with a piece of cake or a piece of pie, prepare a small cheese platter with nuts and fresh or dried fruit.

Suitable combinations:

• Fresh cheeses and their texture with oilseeds
• Blue-veined cheeses go very well with very sweet fruits
• Bloomy rind cheeses go well with apples and pears
• Goat's and sheep's cheeses with summer fruits
