I loved the playful texture, it sprang right up after I lightly pressed the top. It was creamy and dry at the same time (chalky, as some might describe) and it likes to coat your tongue. It wasn't tart like I was hoping but I hear it becomes more piquant given some time. For those of you who are weary of eating the rind, this one is a great way to start-it gives the mildest kick to an already subtle goat cheese.
When crottin is young, its a lovely cream color and resembles fresh dough with a dusting of flour...I would describe mochi the same way. As it ages it becomes darker and wrinkled-resembling horse poop, yum?

Looks more like the brain of a small animal than horse dropping to me. Both are pretty gross. |
As they say in the UK, give it a go! It's scrumptious and has a great history; definitely a fun party cheese if you are able to serve both young and aged.
These little dumplings look delicious... Now I'm craving both mochi ice cream AND cheese... Darn you! Haha...
