🤔 Did you know? Sainte-Maure de Touraine is a soft goat's milk cheese with a natural rind. It is easily recognisable by its ‘buchette’ shape. Sainte-Maure de Touraine has the distinctive feature of having a rye straw running through it to certify its origin. The straw is engraved with the name of the appellation and attests to the origin of the cheese.
