Farmhouse Mej’Lavender Goat Cheese offers a truly unique experience, blending the robust flavor of raw goat milk with the delicate fragrance of lavender. The cheese’s soft, natural rind encloses a creamy, almost ethereal interior, where the floral notes of lavender dance subtly, enhancing rather than overwhelming the natural tanginess of the goat milk. The balance between the bold, earthy undertones of the cheese and the fragrant, aromatic lavender is masterful, creating a complex and layered flavor profile that lingers long after the last bite. Each 90g slice is a testament to the skill and passion of the artisans at Le Bois d’Amalthée, who mold and age every piece by hand, ensuring that each cheese tells the story of its origin.
Farmhouse Mej’Lavender Goat Cheese is versatile and pairs beautifully with both savory and sweet accompaniments:
The story of Amalthée, the nurturing nymph who cared for Zeus with her life-giving goat milk, is woven into the very fabric of Le Bois d’Amalthée’s cheese-making tradition. As Zeus grew in strength, he accidentally broke Amalthée’s horn, which he transformed into the legendary Cornucopia, symbolizing endless abundance. The artisans at Le Bois d’Amalthée draw inspiration from this myth, striving to fill every wheel of cheese with the same promise of nourishment and joy. This mythological connection adds a layer of historical depth to the cheese, making it not just a delicacy, but a conversation piece that brings ancient stories to life at your table.
Store Farmhouse Mej’Lavender Goat Cheese in the refrigerator at a temperature between 4°C and 8°C. Keep it wrapped in wax paper or parchment paper, and place it in a breathable container to allow the cheese to mature gracefully without drying out. For the best flavor, bring it to room temperature before serving.
