Pouligny Saint Pierre 250g

This traditional French cheese is named after the eponymous village and goes by the nickname ‘Eiffel Tower’ in reference to its form. A good Pouligny St Pierre is perfect when the exterior mould it is developing blue-grey patches and comes with dense, lightly crumbly paste. The flavour can range from mild saltiness to sweet goat milk depending on ripeness and season. During production, the cheese is only lightly cut once the curds are formed and then ladled into pyramidal moulds. Once removed from forms the cheese is allowed to form its geotrichum rind by adding the culture directly to the milk, or spraying onto the exterior.
