Mothais sur Feuille “Poitou Chèvre”

Silky, delicate and gently earthy, with a leaf-ripened character that gives the cheese its distinctive softness.

Mothais sur Feuille is a traditional goat cheese from Poitou-Charentes, matured on a chestnut leaf. The paste stays moist and creamy, with fresh goat’s-milk tang, butter, herbs and gentle mushroom notes.

Origin: Poitou-Charentes, France
Milk: Pasteurised goat’s milk
Style: Surface-ripened lactic cheese on chestnut leaf
Texture: Soft, moist and velvety
Intensity: Mild to medium
Rennet: Animal rennet
Shelf life: Around 7–10 days

Mild tang and natural sweetness are followed by butter, herbs, nuts and a gentle earthy finish. At room temperature the paste can become almost spoonable.

Serve at room temperature with baguette, figs or toasted nuts.

Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, dry rosé or Viognier all suit its creamy goat’s-milk profile.

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