From the Berry region of central France, Carré du Berry by Fromagerie Jacquin is a pasteurized goat's milk square coated in a mix of dried herbs, whole peppercorns, and juniper berries. The paste is soft and creamy with a fresh chalky core, and the aromatic coat is fully edible, doing a lot of the flavor work on its own.
The flavor leads with a bright, clean goaty tang, right in that yogurty Loire style, then the herbs, pine, clover, and juniper wash across the middle. A slow peppercorn warmth builds on the back of the palate from the whole peppercorns pressed into the outside. As it ages, the herbs dry down further and the floral notes get more pronounced without the tang ever getting sharp.
Carré is French for square, and that shape gives the cheese a lot of surface area, which is why the crust reads so strongly against such a small piece. Beautiful on a board just as it is, and a little cheese that leaves a big impression.
Soft and creamy under the herb crust, with a fresh chalky core that gives just slightly under the knife.
A bright goat's-milk tang up front, then a wave of green herbs, cracked pepper, and juniper that carries the middle without turning sharp.
A clean herbal finish that holds for a beat or two, with juniper and pepper lingering after the lactic tang fades.
Pronounced goaty lactic tang on the front of the tongue, fresh cream and yogurt notes right through the paste.
A quiet walnut note under the herbs, more suggestion than statement, closer to fresh almond than browned butter.
Dried herbs, pine, and clover across the crust give a garrigue-like earthiness that reads floral more than mushroomy.
A gentle peppercorn tickle on the back of the palate from the whole peppercorns pressed into the coat, warm rather than hot.
Natural rind
The coat of dried herbs, whole peppercorns, and juniper berries is edible and does most of the aromatic work, layering pine, clover, and pepper over the fresh goat paste.
Carré du Berry stands on its own, but the right partners turn a wedge into a moment. Regional pairings first — they were built for each other.
Loire whites like Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé come from just up the road and mirror the cheese's lactic tang, while champagne and a dry rosé cut through the herb coat.
Fresh fruit and a light honey settle the goaty tang, while walnuts and cornichons play off the pepper and juniper on the crust.

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.
