Tome de Bordeaux (Herbillette)

Tome de Bordeaux, or Herbillette, is an aged goat cheese made in the Loire Valley and finished at the caves of Jean d'Alos. Inspired by the Corsican cheese, Brin d'Amour, this three-month-old goat cheese is crusted over with aromatic layers of herbs. The thyme, savory, juniper, coriander, fennel, and cayenne seep into the tangy, pure white goat paste and punch up the flavor with an aromatic herbiness.
