What is Chavroux Cheese?
Chavroux is a French soft cheese made using goat's milk. It launched in 1985 and is produced in the village of Réparsac, some 11 km (6.8 mi) from Cognac.
The factory employs approximately 200 people, which makes it the leading employer in the village. The business belongs to Savencia, a producer of a wide range of specialist cheeses and the second largest cheese producer in France.
This is a factory cheese rather than a farmhouse one. Most of it reaches shops in small containers shaped as a truncated pyramid, each holding 150 g, and a cylinder shape is sold as well.
It can be eaten all round the year. The usual suggestion is to serve it with salads, though it also works as a cheese spread with any meal.
