 | Cabecou One of the smallest French cheeses. The name 'Cabecou' comes from the language of 'Oc', the ancient language of South West of France and means small goat. This delicious farm cheese gets its flavour from the richness of the milk. The goats graze in pastures full of luxurious vegetation (hawthorn, mulberry-tree, juniper-tree, etc) of the Midi-Pyrenees, a region of France.
Fresh, it is pliant and creamy, with a subtle, delicate taste of milk. After fifteen days its delicate white crust becomes covered with little blue moulds and its taste is permeated with the flavour of hazel nut.
The thin rind is striped, the pate has an ivory colour, creamy and soft and melts once on the palate.
