About Pouligny-Saint-Pierre Cheese

Pouligny-Saint-Pierre is a traditional French cheese from the Berry region, made from unpasteurized goat's milk. Its distinctive pyramid shape sets it apart visually.

Its aroma is distinctly goaty, providing a sensory preview of its flavor profile. Pouligny-Saint-Pierre pairs well with fresh bread and light wines, making it a popular choice for cheese boards.
