Produced on the island of Corsica, brocciu is considered the island’s most representative food, as said by the poet Emile Bergerat in the 19th century:“anyone who hasn’t tasted it doesn’t know the island.”. Like ricotta, it is a young white cheese.
Tour Guyotte is a raw goats’ milk cheese from Burgundy. It’s a soft, mossy, spring goat cheese covered either with silvery green or rusty orange tinged molds. It’s named after the Guyotte, a small river in the Saône-et-Loire department of the Bourgogne region, and a tributary to the Doubs and, ultimately the Rhône.
Valençay cheese is one of the classic French cheeses made in the province of Berry in central France. It is named after the town of Valençay in the Indre department, France.
This cheese comes in two types: the one coated with wood ash and produced on farms is called Valençay Fermier while the other coated with vegetable ash and made in dairies or industries is called Valençay Laitier.
Valençay is an unpasteurised goats-milk cheese. Its rind has a rustic blue-grey colour which is made of the natural moulds. The rind is then darkened by dusting charcoal powder. It is available usually between March and December, with peak manufacture between April and August.
Valençay cheese used to have a shape of a perfect pyramid with a pointed top. But when Napoleon returned to the castle of Valencay after his unsuccessful expedition in Egypt, he saw the cheese, in a fit of rage drew his sword and cut off the top of the cheese. Since then the cheese has always been made with a flattened top.
