Deep Dive

A closer look

From the Chevrefeuille dairy in Saint-Cyprien, in the Périgord region of southwest France, this is a fresh pasteurized goat's milk cheese rolled in a coat of tarragon, thyme, and pink peppercorn. The whole exterior is green and fragrant, almost garden-like before you even cut into it.

Under the herb coat the paste is soft, bright white, and creamy in that fresh chèvre way, just barely holding its shape with a faintly chalky center. On the palate it reads mild and milky first, then the herbs come through, tarragon especially, with a quiet floral warmth from the pink peppercorn at the edges. There's a subtle lactic tang that lingers without ever turning sharp.

This is the gentle end of the goat's milk spectrum, perfect for someone who wants something fresh and aromatic without any of the barnyard funk that scares people off goat cheese. Slice it into rounds and it looks like a little garden on the board.

The Tasting Notes

Texture

Soft and creamy with a fresh, slightly chalky goat's milk paste. Yields easily to the knife, with the herb coating clinging to every cut.

Intensity

Gentle and approachable. The goat's milk reads mild and creamy on the palate, with the tarragon, thyme, and pink peppercorn lifting it into something more aromatic than punchy.

Finish

A short, clean finish with a quiet lactic tang and a whisper of pink peppercorn that fades within seconds.

Lactic

Fresh-cream and yogurty up front, classic young goat's milk, clean rather than tangy.

Nutty

Not a nutty cheese. The paste is too young and milky for any brown-butter or hazelnut notes to develop.

Earthy

A light herbal, garden-y quality from the tarragon and thyme coating, but no mushroom or barnyard character in the paste itself.

Spicy

Pink peppercorn brings a soft floral warmth at the edges rather than any real heat.

The Rind

Natural rind

No traditional rind. The exterior is coated in tarragon, thyme, and pink peppercorn, which perfumes every bite with an herbal, garden-fresh aroma.

The Pairing

What to pour. What to put alongside.

Fleur Verte stands on its own, but the right partners turn a wedge into a moment. Regional pairings first — they were built for each other.

Like wine tasting, but for cheese

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.

Excellent customer service on a shipped order

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.
