Tastes like France says Rog! Open the beautiful wooden box and you immediately know the two pretty goats on its cover have a treat in-store for you. Pico is a soft, white rind that has just a smattering of bloom – its surface rumpled like the sheets on a lazy Sunday morning.
The aroma has a whiff of orangey-tang to offset alovely warm milkyness.
Cut into this cheese and you know it’s going to be good. The thin rind gives way to a translucent outer that cloaks a chalky centre.
Bite into Picandine’s unctuous outer and you’ll find a resistance at that chalky centre.
But for all that tangy whiff, this is a smooth, edible cheese. It envelopes your mouth on a lovely silky cream. A soft, silky goat with a nice sharp tang after taste to remind you there’s a kick in that she-goat. Like the bite at the back of your throat when you’ve had a piece of white chocolate too many!
