Designated by the AOC as one of France's elite cheeses, Valençay is a real winner when it comes to choosing a superb goat's cheese.

Distinctive in its truncated pyramidal shape, Valençay is an unpasteurised goats-milk cheese.

Its rustic blue-grey colour is made by the natural moulds that form its rind.

The young cheese has a fresh, citric taste, with age giving it a nutty taste characteristic of goat's cheeses.

Covered with ash to facilitate the development of mould, this cheese ripens in a well-ventilated room at 80% humidity. It matures for 3 weeks before it is ready for sale. (French)
