This is a small goat cheese made from full-fat raw milk. After about ten days, it has a beautiful ivory-colored rind, a soft and melting paste and delicate hazelnut aromas. It has been made on the slopes of the Pilat massif since the 19th century. The name of the cheese derives from "rigol" or "rigot", the name given to small streams of the Pilat that cascade down the Condrieu valleys.
Rigotte de Condrieu has been labeled with the European AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) seal since 2009.
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".
