Soft Hard

Mothais a la Feuille is a goat's cheese hailing from the Poitou-Charentes region of western France, originating in Mothe-Saint-Héray and dating back to the 19th century.

In 2002, the cheese was granted an AOC designation to ensure its quality is upheld. Fresh goat milk is used to make this cheese which matures in a humid environment, enclosed in a chestnut, sycamore or plane leaf coating. It has a soft, runny texture which thickens with age, developing intense earthy, lemony and mouldy flavours. Its rind is wrinkly with blue and green mould underneath the leaf shell, and has been injected with Geotrichum to bring out the distinct goat milk flavour.

Enjoy Mothais a la Feuille with Champagne or a single-malt whisky.

Shipping Information

Mothais sur Feuille is a traditional French goat cheese from the Poitou-Charentes region. Soft-ripened and typically matured on a chestnut or vine leaf, the leaf serves not only as a natural wrapper but also helps regulate humidity, preventing the cheese from becoming overly soft while imparting a subtle, woody aroma. When fully matured, the center develops a dense, fudgy texture, while the area just beneath the rind becomes slightly runny. The flavor deepens with age, offering a rich, nuanced experience. Serve at room temperature to fully appreciate its creamy texture, and pair with seasonal fruits such as figs, apples, or pears.
