This is arguably the most famous of the Berry's goat cheeses. Some prefer it quite fresh, aged for about ten days, blue when after a month the penicillium appears and gives it a scent of undergrowth, or very dry when it reveals aromas of walnuts and hazelnuts. It is also commonly used in cooking - thinly sliced for au gratin.
Chavignol has been labeled with the European AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) seal since 1976.
The red European AOP seal (appellation d'origine protégée = "protected designation of origin") guarantees the consumer that all production stages take place exclusively in the defined geographical area of the designation, from the production of the milk to the maturing of the cheese.
In France, 45 types of cheese, 3 types of butter and 2 types of cream are labeled with the European seal "AOP".
