Pyramide de Valencay “Fromagerie Pierre Jacquin”

Fresh, chalky and softly earthy, with a beautiful ash-coated rind and the elegant shape of a classic Valençay-style goat cheese.

Pyramide de Valençay from Fromagerie Pierre Jacquin is made from pasteurised goat’s milk in central France. The truncated pyramid shape and fine vegetable ash give it a distinctive look, while the paste stays bright, lactic and refined.

Origin: Central France
Milk: Pasteurised goat’s milk
Style: Ash-coated lactic goat cheese
Texture: Dense and tender at the centre, creamier beneath the rind
Intensity: Mild to medium
Shelf life: Around 7–10 days

Fresh milk, citrus and gentle mineral notes develop into nuttiness and light earthiness as the cheese matures.

Serve slightly cool or at room temperature with baguette, pears, grapes or walnuts.

Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Riesling or dry rosé all work well.

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

For a cleaner, less earthy goat cheese.

Délice des Deux-Sèvres
For another ash-coated goat cheese with a softer oval format.

The ash helps moderate surface acidity during early ripening and encourages the development of the fine natural rind.

Ingredients: Pasteurised goat’s milk, salt, cultures, non-animal rennet.
