Roves des Garrigues

The saying “you are what you eat”, was stated perfectly by my cheesemonger when I recently attended a tasting. So I guess I'm a goat then? Yes, yes you are. After trying Roves de Garrigues, a sui generis fresh goat cheese, I am proud to call myself one. The goats graze on a plethora of herbs: citronella, fennel, thyme and lavender; allowing the herbaceous oils to infuse the milk-insert dramatic heavenly orchestra music here. The cheese tastes so incredible I could almost shed a tear.

On a warm day there is nothing better than fresh goat cheese.  It has a cooling factor and it's also a lighter cheese so it won't make you feel heavy, perfect for summer. 


For those of you out there who are anti-goat, don’t hide I know who are, this is your chance. The herbs and citrus are the more prominent flavors and there isn't any “goatiness” to be found. Give it a chance, for me?


I found my summer love and his name is Roves; it had to be you…
