Bougon

Bougon is a French cheese produced in the Poitou-Charentes region. The cheese is made with goat's milk and has a bloomy rind. Its texture is firm and creamy, the aroma is fresh, while the flavor is acidic, piquant, and herbal. Raw milk is usually used for the production of this cheese, while pasteurized milk is used for the cheeses intended for export.

In France, Bougon is shaped into a log, which makes the slicing process easier at the deli counters. It is recommended to serve Bougon with slices of country bread, tomatoes, basil, and olive oil. Pair it with young wines such as Beaujolais.
