More Details: Vermont Butter & Cheese Co.’s introduction of its
three new French-style artisan goat cheeses demonstrates the evolution of
artisan cheese production in the United States. Bonne Bouche — French
for “tasty little bite,” this is an ash-ripened, artisan goat
cheese made by hand in the traditional French style. Bonne Bouche is sweet
and gentle in flavor with a very creamy texture. Bijou — This
fresh-ripened, soft-aged artisan goat cheese is made in the style of the
French “crottin.” A fabulous mild balance of sweet and sour, it
is wonderful served warm on a baguette with a salad. Couple — This
delicate, hand-shaped cheese looks like a snow-covered dome. Mild and dense
with a slightly creamy center, it can be eaten young, or the flavor can be
allowed to strengthen over time.
