Bucheron Cheese

A goat's milk cheese, native to France, that is similar and synonymous with a French chevre. Semi-aged, ripening for 5 to 10 weeks, Bucheron is produced as short logs that are sliced and sold as small rounds in food stores. Soft, but semi-firm in texture, this cheese when young provides a somewhat mild flavor that becomes sharper as it matures. It is a good cheese for salads or for snacking with hearty grained breads, crackers and grapes.
