CARRE DE SAINT VICTOR
The Carré de Saint Victor is a raw goat's milk cheese that brings a soft, sunlit note to a cheeseboard. The milk comes from the Provençale goat, a hardy breed, and the cheese is made in the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region. Naturally higher in fat, this milk gives a dense, melting paste with little acidity, rare for a goat's cheese. Its rind is scattered with edible flowers. A farmhouse piece, both delicate and generous.
A delicate, floral, and singular cheese. It catches the eye — and then wins over the palate.
Beneath a thin, flowery rind, the paste is dense, supple and melting. That is the signature of the Carré de Saint Victor, created by Maison Mons and Yannick, a passionate and experienced cheesemaker: a raw goat's milk that is naturally rich, giving a firmer texture than most goat's cheeses. On the palate it stays soft and round, milky, with very little acidity. The edible flowers on the rind add a vegetal note and real visual presence when the cheese is cut.
On a board, it brings colour and roundness. Enjoy it as it is, at room temperature, so the paste can soften. It also works on a slice of country bread, or in a seasonal salad. For a pairing, a crisp, dry white wine such as a white Côtes du Rhône or a Sancerre suits its gentle character. Find it in our selection of goat's cheeses.
Ordering is simple, with careful dispatch within 36 to 48 hours by Chronofresh. To build your board, explore the Dragonnet, the Camembert Sélection AOP, the Étivaz AOP, our cow's milk cheeses and our cheese boards.
