Serpolette

Selected and introduced by the master affineurs at Fromagerie Janier in Lyon, Serpolette is a delightful expression of terroir and a tender nod to Lyon’s culinary heritage. Under the guidance of Christian Janier, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, this new goat’s cheese joins their curated range, celebrated for its aromatic finesse and playful character.

Hailing from Saône-et-Loire, this small, elongated fresh goat cheese has a distinctive quenelle shape. Made from raw goat’s milk and delicately infused with wild serpolet (wild thyme), it offers a soft, lactic, and slightly tangy core with a light, almost mousse-like texture. The flavour is clean and direct, marked by the freshness of the milk and a subtle, dry, citrusy herbal note from the wild thyme.

Best enjoyed fresh, spread on a slice of rye or sourdough bread. It pairs beautifully with a dry, floral white wine like a Saint-Véran or a glass of sparkling Crémant. Its delicate nature also makes it a perfect addition to spring salads or served with fresh berries.

Storage: Keep refrigerated and consume while fresh, ideally within a few days of purchase.
