_Poitou, France_
Soft; goat; fresh; sweet and tasty. A vintage cheese of the months from April to December, since such cheeses don't last long enough to be vintaged like wine by the year. Chaingy _Orléans, France_ Season September to June. Cham _Switzerland_ One of those eminent Emmentalers from Cham, the home town of Mister Pfister (_see_ Pfister). Chamois milk Aristotle said that the most savorous cheese came from the chamois. This small goatlike antelope feeds on wild mountain herbs not available to lumbering cows, less agile sheep or domesticated mountain goats, so it gives, in small quantity but high quality, the richest, most flavorsome of milk. Champenois or Fromage des Riceys _Aube & Marne, France_ Season from September to June. The same as Cendré Champenois and des Riceys. |
