Bonde du Poitou hails from the Poitou Chevre creamery in Bougon, Poitou-Charentes. The dairy has been in existence since 1906 when local goat farmers joined together to form a dairy to turn all their milk into cheese. In 2016 a family from Poitou-Chevre from the neighbouring village took over the Bougon dairy and its production focusing solely on traditional local cheeses. The dairy is one of Hervé Mons largest suppliers but they maintain impressive quality standards and support a range of local farmers in the region farming mainly Alpine & Saanen goats. Bonde du Poitou is gentle but immensely satisfying with sweet cream flavours and a very pliable texture for a lactic cheese. It veers from a densely creamy texture when younger to more frothy as it ages.
