Valençay AOP from St Michel is a French goat’s milk cheese produced in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Presented as a 250g whole cheese, it is protected under the Appellation d’Origine Protégée (AOP), ensuring authentic production methods specific to its region.

Detailed Information
Crafted from raw goat’s milk, Valençay is a soft cheese with a distinctive truncated pyramid shape. Its rind is coated with salted charcoal ash, aiding in surface ripening and flavour development. The paste is firm yet creamy, with a bright, fresh flavour that carries mild citrus and nutty undertones. As it matures, the texture becomes denser and the taste more pronounced, with a balanced tang and earthiness.
