Cheese
by Jennifer on October 7, 2008
This is a very seductive cheese.
Sainte Maure de Touraine is an attention grabber.
Just look at that wrinkled, fuzzy exterior wrapped around a pure white, creamy interior. So intriguing.
And its flavor is exquisite!
Perfectly balanced and mild with a nice tanginess and hints of walnut. The texture is fine, creamy and dense.
This goat cheese is produced on farms and in co-ops in the Loire Valley around the town of Sainte-Maure de Touraine. It holds the distinction of achieving AOC status in 1990.
The little piece of straw that pierces the center serves two purposes; to hold the cheese's shape and to allow air to penetrate the interior.
White wines such as Vouvray or sancerre, or a red from the Loire such as Chinon are delicious when paired with Sainte Maure de Touraine.
You must try this cheese. Trust me, you won't be sorry!
It is available from Fromages.com.

That looked like a real, small farm produced, version of this cheese in your photo! Did you try it?
