The Fromagerie Le Pic, located in Penne in the Occitanie region since 1980, continues the great tradition of goat cheese making in Southwestern France. Made from whole raw goat’s milk, Le Lingot de Chèvre Le Pic reflects the creamery’s artisanal expertise and showcases the full aromatic richness of goat’s milk sourced from local farms.
It is a raw milk lactic goat cheese, easily recognized by its elongated shape, which inspired its name. Its fine natural rind protects a white, tender, and melt-in-the-mouth paste. As it matures, its texture becomes creamier and its character more pronounced while maintaining remarkable finesse.
FLAVOR: On the palate, this cheese reveals fresh, milky aromas typical of great raw milk goat cheeses. Its flavor is delicate when young, then gradually develops more pronounced goat notes and subtle hints of hazelnut as it ages. Its balance of sweetness, freshness, and character makes it particularly appreciated by goat cheese lovers.
HOW TO ENJOY IT: To fully appreciate its qualities, it is best served at room temperature. It is delicious on lightly toasted country bread, accompanied by honey, walnuts, or fresh fruit. It also shines in a gourmet salad or on a cheese board. For pairings, it goes perfectly with a crisp, dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or a white wine from Southwestern France, which will enhance its freshness and distinctive goat milk notes.
