The Goats' Cheese of Poitou. France

Description

European Union policy allows cheese makers from members of the Union to certify the country of origin. Most of the goat's cheese certified to be from France is produced in the Poitou region of the country. In this episode Will Studd visits the annual goat's cheese fair in the village of Sainte Maure de Touraine and hears from the local cheese judges to find out how to select the best. Next, it's on to a typical small farmhouse goat dairy before visiting France's largest goat's cheese producer, Eurial, to find out how the best-loved French chevre, Sainte Maure, is made.
