Loire Valley — Goat Cheese
Cooking with Selles-sur-Cher (too delicate — use Crottin for grilling). Serving before the crémeuse develops (needs 15+ days). Cutting in wedges from center (cut in half first, then wedges, to preserve the texture layers). Over-aging (past 4 weeks it dries and loses its delicacy). Storing in plastic (wax paper only).
