In August 1998, the American Cheese Society established National Goat Cheese Month to promote the benefits o f cooking with goat cheese. August was chosen because young goat cheeses are at their peak, made from milk produced in spring when goats consume fresh vegetation. Goat cheese production dates back to around 5000 BC, spreading from the Mediterranean to Eastern Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia, and India. Early American settlers also brought goats with them.

Today, the U.S. boasts over 50 goat cheese producers, with the cheese gaining popularity in farmers' markets, supermarkets,and restaurants. Goat cheese is light, creamy, and ideal for summer, pairing well with olive oil, salads, roasts, and burgers. Enjoy some of the best goat cheeses featured here for a memorable gathering!

A heavenly, creamy goat cheese. Florette is a thick, nearly whipped spread of tangy goat milk goodness with a bloomy rind. Less acidic and chalky than traditional French goat cheese, this runny cheese has the silky mouthfeel so typical of Fromager d’Affinois and comes in an original hexagonal shape. The Florette is produced through the ultrafiltration process. This ingenuous production method allows to retain more proteins in the cheese and have a very creamy texture and taste. It is a great companion with a full-bodied Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc, or a buttery Chardonnay.

It all started in the early 80's when Jean-Claude Guilloteau set out to create his own cheese. This passionate man devoted 10 years of his life to developing a recipe that Fromagerie Guilloteau still uses today in the French countryside. In 1981, he made his first cheese using a unique approach to cheese making that filtered the milk and kept the best it had to offer! The cheese features a unique thin rind, a unique taste and a melting texture.

The cheese-making savoir-faire has remained the same: that of Mr. Guilloteau. His knowledge has been passed on by Fromagerie Guilloteau cheese makers for over 40 years now Fromagerie Guilloteau uses only fresh milk from local French farms that is never more than 24 to 72 hours old, adding even more value (and flavor!)

The cheese's even, creamy textures, delicate and unique tastes, and very fine rinds must be tasted to be truly valued. And for those who already know--the value of any bite of Guilloteau is truly priceless.

The Fromager d’Affinois line of cheeses offer silky, smooth, mouth-coating creaminess and a decadently rich, buttery taste. Made with pasteurized cows’ milk and available in a variety of flavors using only the freshest ingredients, there is a d’Affinois for everyone to adore.

Saint Angel is a cow's milk triple cream cheese with incredibly smooth texture and big, buttery flavors that will not go unnoticed. For those craving an even creamier bite, Saint Angel cheese is the perfect match. With a delicate, white bloomy rind and base flavor of sweet cream and mild mushrooms, it delights with every bite and becomes even more rich and robust with age.

As the centerpiece of a cheeseboard or served as an elegant dessert with just a few compliments, Fromagerie Guilloteau cheeses are sure to delight on any occasion.
