Couronne Lochoise

Description

Its name translates literally to “Crown of Loches” after it’s doughnut-like shape and the area in which it is produced. This ash coated cheese is produced in limited quantities by a small number of artisanal cheese makers.

The texture of Couronne Lochoise is soft and creamy with a delicately thin rind. The bone white interior of the cheese has the texture and taste of buttered pastry. The cheese is mildly acidic and somewhat salty with a mild “goatiness” typical of goat cheeses. The aromas remind you of fresh, green grass of the rich pasture lands of the Touraine.

This cheese weighs roughly 180g.
