Crafted by the Société Laitière de Laqueuille, this cheese is aged in the Aveyron, in caves near its famous cousin, the Bleu des Causses. Though it’s not an AOP cheese, La Mémée follows a similar traditional process and benefits from the unique microclimate of these natural maturing caves.

Texture & flavour
The paste is strikingly white, typical of goat’s milk, with delicate blue veining throughout. It offers a fresh and zingy attack, quickly followed by a light saltiness and an elegant, lactic tang. The texture is dense yet creamy, melting gently on the palate without overpowering the senses.

Appearance
Its natural rind holds a compact cylinder with gentle rustic tones. Inside, the contrast between the snowy paste and the veins of Penicillium roqueforti creates a visually captivating pattern, highlighting the careful craftsmanship behind it.

Pairings
A perfect match for white wines with tension and aromatic lift, such as a Sancerre or a dry Jurançon. For a more regional experience, try it with a chilled glass of Côtes d’Auvergne Chardonnay or a rustic rye bread to enhance the salty-lactic depth.

Final thoughts
La Mémée brings a modern twist to traditional blue cheese by embracing the unique character of goat’s milk. It's a testament to the savoir-faire of Laqueuille’s cheesemakers and a welcome addition to our selection—delicate, complex, and proudly making its Australian debut at K-SEIN Fromagerie.
