Persillé de Rambouillet is a goat’s milk blue cheese originating from a small farm in the Ile-de-France region of France.
Made on an idyllic farm
La Ferme de la Tremblaye is an idyllic farm that is located in Rambouillet, a commune in the Yvelines department, some 45km South-West of Paris. Some 100 cows and 700 goats, as well as a tiny farmhouse cheesemaking facility, call it home.
First established just over 50 years ago, the farm now makes more than 30 different cow’s and goat’s milk cheeses. One of those is a unique blue cheese.
Rambouillet’s Blue
Persillé de Rambouillet (which translates to Rambouillet’s Blue Cheese in English) is a semi-soft blue cheese made using the farm’s pasteurised goat’s milk.
Underneath an elegant ash coated rind lies an incredibly creamy and smooth white pâte with a beautiful marbling of blue veins.
Overall, this cheese perfectly balances the traits of goat’s milk with blue mould. The aroma is strong and very “blue”. Furthermore, on the palate, it is salty and tangy and packs quite a punch.
How to pair Persillé de Rambouillet
Enjoy this robust blue with something sweet. We recommend cherries and figs. Wash it all down with a glass sweet Riesling or Moscato.
