Chevre cheese is a fatty, high-protein, heart-shaped product.

Chevre (French: Chevre) is another type of goat's milk cheese. This is a classic French representative with an unforgettable, rather pungent smell. In addition to the smell, Chevre has a pleasant, delicate, light taste. The cheese mass varies in color, ranging from pale white to a bluish tint. It depends on the ripening time of the product. The structure of the pulp is dense and uniform with small grains, which may not always be found.

Since goat's milk itself is higher in fat compared to cow's milk, the cheese also has a very high fat content - 45%. As you understand, it is precisely this fact that negates its use in the diet of modern bodybuilders. Despite the large percentage of protein, due to such a huge fat content, athletes who are interested in bodybuilding and fitness are better off refraining from consuming it, unless of course you want to become fat and lose muscle definition.

What are the technological features of preparing Chevre? - as one authoritative information portal tells us, when the head ripens, it is rubbed with wood ash and left for about two weeks. Young Chevre is endowed with the aroma of an autumn forest, its taste is delicate, milky with light notes of nuts and fruits. More mature cheese has a harsh odor and a tart, pungent taste.

The shape of Chevre cheese is similar to a small heart - this configuration has remained unchanged since the time of its first preparation. Even the word itself translated from French means: goat heart. Any unique, special, curious story of its discovery and first preparation, as well as giving it this form, has not reached us. All that is known is that the first place of its production was the Atlantic coast of France: the departments of Indre, Loire (not completely) and Cher (not completely).

The weight of cheese wheels is about 150 grams. To produce this cheese, goat milk is taken from the Poitou Valley, because these places are rich in succulent herbs. It’s better to choose red or light white wines for Chevre.
