One of the most intriguing aspects of Mothais sur Feuille is its unique presentation wrapped in chestnut leaves. Not only does this traditional method of aging impart a distinctive earthy aroma to the cheese, but it also serves a practical purpose. The porous nature of the chestnut leaves allows the cheese to breathe, facilitating the gradual release of moisture and contributing to its exquisite texture and flavor profileIngredients: Pasteurised goat's milk, salt, cultures, animal rennet, chestnut leaf.
