About Picodon cheese

Picodon Cheese is a traditional French goat cheese originating from the Rhône-Alpes region. Made from fresh, full-fat goat's milk, it is known for its firm texture and distinctive, tangy flavor that intensifies as it ages. Picodon is typically small and flat, with a golden rind that develops a natural white mold. Rich in essential nutrients like calcium and protein, it supports bone health and muscle maintenance. Its high levels of probiotics may aid digestion, offering potential benefits for gut health. However, Picodon is a full-fat cheese, meaning it is higher in saturated fat and calories, so moderation is key. Often enjoyed as part of salads, charcuterie boards, or paired with regional wines, it is a cherished part of French culinary tradition. Its strong flavor makes it a standout addition to dishes, whether served fresh or aged for a more pronounced taste.
