Macconais
What is Macconais Cheese?
Mâconnais is an artisanal French goat’s milk cheese made in the town of Mâcon in the Bourgogne region of France. Depending on the season, the cheese may also be made from cow’s milk or a combination of goat’s and cow’s milk.
This full-fat cheese, which received AOC certification in 2005, is shaped like a flat, truncated cone measuring 4–5 cm in diameter and 3–4 cm in height. It is soft, cream-colored, firm, creamy, and smooth, with a melt-in-the-mouth consistency. As it ripens, blue Penicillium mold may begin to develop, gradually turning the cheese from ivory to bluish.
Mâconnais has a delicate herbal, salty flavor. The longer the maturation process, the harder and saltier it becomes. The cheese pairs perfectly with a glass of Chablis, Mâcon red, Beaujolais, wheat beer, crackers, and fruit.
