 Laura Chenel’s Chèvre is honored to receive two first place awards for distinguished cheesemaking from the American Cheese Society 2011 competition.
Taking the top prizes are the classic 
 
A fresh cheese with mild flavor and soft, spreadable texture in the traditional French elongated shape. Laura Chenel’s Log is the original cheese, when sliced into rounds, breaded and baked at Chez Panisse, became the iconic California green salad with goat cheese. Slice our log into rounds, cover with homemade bread crumbs, toasted walnuts or pecans, bake until browned and serve atop salad greens – and dream that you are at Chez Panisse sitting in those perfect seats at the front with light streaming in through the windows. Pair: A dry Riesling Kabinett with aromatic, slate and mineral characteristics would be an interesting and pleasing pairing with the toasty cheese and crisp greens. |
