Bright, tangy goat cheese with lemon-zest character and clean mineral finish.
Chabichou du Poitou is a French goat's milk cheese from the Poitou region in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, AOP-protected and made in its signature little drum shape, small and squat with a wrinkled bloomy rind.
It's a soft cheese, but not a runny one. The paste stays a touch chalky in the middle when it's young, with a creamier line right under the rind as it ages. Flavor is classic Loire goat: bright lactic tang, a real lemon-zest hit, grassy, mineral, with that sweet-savory pull that goat's milk does so well. As the wheel sits, the rind ivories up and wrinkles, and the paste turns nuttier and a little spicier on the back end.
This is the goat cheese to reach for when you want something with attitude but not funk, zesty and clean, with the kind of provenance that goes back centuries in Poitou.

Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
