Chabichou is a traditional French goat’s cheese from the Poitou-Charentes region, where chèvre has been crafted for centuries. Its signature shape is the small, squat cylinder known as a “bonde,” said to be inspired by the corks used to seal wine barrels. Beneath its delicate, wrinkled rind lies a dense yet creamy interior, offering a perfect balance of tangy freshness, nutty depth, and a gentle earthy note. Lightly aged for just a couple of weeks, this cheese is both approachable and full of rustic charm.
