Chevre

Chevre is the general French term for cheese made from goat's milk, though in English usage it most often refers specifically to the soft, fresh, unaged goat cheese with a tangy, slightly earthy flavor and a smooth, spreadable texture. It is produced across France, with well known regional varieties carrying their own protected names, and it is also made widely in other countries under the same general style. Fresh chevre is typically sold in small logs or rounds, sometimes coated in herbs, ash or pepper, and is used spread on bread, crumbled into salads, or baked until warmed through as an appetizer.
