I think the local Valençay, Sainte-Maure, and Selles-sur-Cher goat milk cheeses all have the same kind of crust (ash and salt).<br /><br />Have you tried Pouligny-Saint-Pierre? It's local too, and is like a Valençay without the ash.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785675986457392622.post-33160010927082830592013-06-19T06:00:44.135+01:002013-06-19T06:00:44.135+01:00Of this I am the most mad-jealous.

The one thing France doesn't do so well in the cheese line is a proper hard cheese, which is why we always take a selection of traditional English cheeses for our next-door neighbour who adores them. :-)Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4785675986457392622.post-1718797517499049792013-06-18T08:49:56.968+01:002013-06-18T08:49:56.968+01:00You temptress Jean...

I don't eat that much cheese but I do like it and the deli next to me at work always has a great selection but probably not the fab selections that they have in France. Lovely post.

But I do agree with you about the French cheeses. When we lived in the Uk I just bought cheap and cheerful 'off the supermarket shelf' cheese, but since being in France I have changed that attitude and have developed a new taste for cheese.
