Coeur du Berry

What’s Coeur du Berry like? This is a rich and mellow goat’s cheese.

Where’s it from? Coeur du Berry is made by Fromagerie Jacquin & Fils, a company who have been making goats cheese for over 60 years. The same company also produces Selles sur Cher and Sainte Maure de Touraine in Loir-et-Cher. Read more about this fantastic cheese here.

Packaging: A whole pasteurised cheese of 170g wrapped in a wooden tray.

You can buy Coeur du Berry as part of A Heart-Shaped Box, alongside Neufchatel AOC, Godminster Vintage Cheddar and Tracklements Sticky Fig Relish.
