Ferme de La Tremblaye - ‘Le Jouvençeau’ Farmstead Goat Camembert (Yvelines-FR, 7.05oz)
Ferme de La Tremblaye is a certified organic, B-Corp farmstead located in the Yvelines, just outside Paris. One of France’s most progressive and environmentally committed farms, it achieved organic certification in 2020 after transitioning in 2016, and holds both ISO 14001 (environmental) and ISO 22000 (food safety) certifications. Despite its modern credentials, cheesemaking at La Tremblaye remains deeply artisanal — renneting, cutting, stirring, molding, turning, and packaging are all still performed by hand, following ancestral techniques unchanged over centuries.
Le Jouvençeau (“the young one”) is a soft-ripened, bloomy-rind camembert-style cheese made from the farm’s own goat’s milk — a rare and refined alternative to the classic cow’s milk camembert. Farmstead (“Fromage Fermier”) certified, meaning the milk and cheese are produced on the same farm.
Tasting Notes
Creamy and lactic with a delicate bloomy rind. Goat’s milk brings a characteristic brightness and gentle tang, with a smooth, yielding paste that becomes increasingly rich and complex as it ripens. Mild, fresh, and elegant.
Wine Pairings
Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, dry Vouvray, Muscadet, or a crisp Champagne. Also excellent with a light Pinot Noir or dry rosé.
Serving Suggestions
Serve at room temperature on a cheese board with crusty baguette, honey, and fresh fruit. A stunning centerpiece for any cheese course.
