Bonne Bouche

Bonne Bouche is a type of goat cheese produced by the Vermont Creamery in the United States. The name "Bonne Bouche" translates to "good mouthful" in French, reflecting its rich and creamy texture. This cheese is known for its distinctive flavor and artisanal production methods.

Production

Bonne Bouche is made from pasteurized goat's milk. The cheese is hand-ladled and then aged for about ten days. During the aging process, it develops a wrinkled, ash-coated rind, which contributes to its unique appearance and flavor profile. The ash coating is edible and adds a subtle earthy taste to the cheese.

Flavor and Texture

The interior of Bonne Bouche is creamy and smooth, with a tangy and slightly sweet flavor. The rind provides a contrasting texture and a hint of earthiness. As the cheese ages, it becomes softer and more complex in flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Bonne Bouche can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of foods. It pairs well with fresh fruits, nuts, and honey. It can also be used in salads, on cheese boards, or as a topping for crackers and bread.

Awards

Bonne Bouche has received numerous awards for its quality and taste. It has been recognized at various cheese competitions, including the American Cheese Society Awards.
