Delice des deux Sevres “Poitou Chèvre”

Soft, delicate and lightly earthy, with a fresh goat’s-milk tang and the subtle mineral character of an ashed rind.

Délice des Deux-Sèvres is an oval goat cheese from Poitou-Charentes, made by Poitou Chèvre. Its fine ash coating frames a soft, creamy paste that balances lactic freshness with gentle herbal and earthy notes.

Origin: Poitou-Charentes, France
Milk: Pasteurised goat’s milk
Style: Ash-coated, surface-ripened lactic cheese
Texture: Soft, creamy and supple
Intensity: Mild to medium
Rennet: Animal rennet
Shelf life: Around 7–10 days

Expect fresh goat’s-milk tang, butter, herbs and a little earthiness from the rind. The ash itself is subtle but helps create the cheese’s distinctive surface and ripening environment.

Serve at room temperature with baguette, figs, grapes or apples.

Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, dry Chenin Blanc and dry rosé are all natural partners.

Fresh goat’s-milk acidity loves restrained sweetness and something crisp alongside it.

Vegetable ash has a long history in goat cheesemaking. Beyond its appearance, it helps moderate surface acidity and encourages the development of the rind during maturation.
