Chaource

Created by Paula Whitworth, Modified on Mon, 22 May, 2023 at 3:19 PM by Paula Whitworth

Chaource is a luxurious soft, ripened cheese hailing from the Champagne region of France. Made from cow's milk, it boasts a creamy, slightly crumbly texture and a delicate, buttery flavour. Chaource is encased in a bloomy white rind, which adds a subtle hint of earthiness to its taste.


Pairing Suggestions: Chaource is a versatile cheese that pairs well with a variety of accompaniments, making it an excellent choice for a cheese wedding cake. Some popular options include:


  • Fresh fruit: Berries, figs, and apricots complement the cheese's creamy texture and enhance its delicate flavours.
  • Crackers and bread: Sourdough or seeded crackers provide a satisfying crunch and allow the cheese to shine.
  • Charcuterie: Cured meats such as coppa or bresaola add a savoury element that complements the cheese's buttery richness.
  • Wine: A sparkling wine like Champagne or a crisp white wine like Chardonnay can help to cut through the richness of the cheese and cleanse the palate.
