Tarentais Fermier Pur Chèvre – Maison Paccard

From the high valleys of Tarentaise, this Tarentais Lactique Pur Chèvre is a raw goat’s milk button, set by lactic fermentation—slow, gentle, and deeply rustic. Maison Paccard’s affinage respects its fragile, chalky heart: the bloomy white rind cracks slightly, revealing a dense, crumbly paste that melts on the tongue like fresh snow. This is farmhouse goat at its most honest.

Under Paccard’s care, the lactic tang evolves into lemon, hazelnut, and wild herbs, yet the rustic soul remains untouched—no plastic texture, no aggressive acidity. The cheese is small, humble, and hand-ladled, with an uneven crust that speaks of stone cellars and patient turning. Unlike cooked curds, this lactique style keeps the goat’s purity and a fluffy, moist fragility.

Crumbled over salads or eaten alone with honey. The affinage by Maison Paccard does not polish this chevre fermier but lets it breathe. Each bite is a mountain whisper: sharp, sweet, earthy, and unforgettably rustic. A rare lactic jewel from Savoie.
