World's Best
Aquitaine, France | Pasteurized Goat's Milk
Enrobé aux Airelles is a fresh French goat cheese from Aquitaine, coated in sweet-tart dried cranberries (airelles in French). The creamy, tangy chèvre interior provides a bright, lactic contrast to the fruity sweetness of the cranberry coating, creating an approachable balance of savory and sweet. Made from goat's milk and aged briefly, it offers a smooth, spreadable texture and clean goat-milk character softened by the cranberry crust.
Flavor Profile
Fresh cream, lemon zest, cultured butter, tart cranberry, dried cherry, and a gentle sweetness on the finish. The cranberry coating adds both texture and a pleasantly fruity counterpoint to the cheese's natural tang.
Pairings: Fresh, crisp wines such as sparkling wines, Vouvray, Alsatian Pinot Gris and Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc/Sancerre. Pairs well with walnut bread, candied pecans, fresh pear or apple slices and prosciutto.
Of course, this crowd-pleasing chèvre is especially popular on holiday cheese boards, where its striking appearance and sweet-savory profile appeal to both goat cheese enthusiasts and more casual cheese lovers.
