Tasting Notes from the Curator
Embraced by cheese devotees and culinary aficionados alike, P. Jacquin Buchette Cranberry is a beacon of creamy sophistication entwined with the jubilant zest of cranberries. Born from the fertile grounds of the Loire Valley, this cheese is marked by a confluence of aromas; an herbal bouquet interwoven with subtle citrus notes and the fresh whispers of pastoral meadows. The smoothness of goat’s milk reveals itself in a luxuriously rich, creamy body, offering a velvety texture that caresses the palate in every nuance.
The presence of cranberries is not just an artistic nod to festivity but a harmonious balancing act of tart and sweet, enhancing its broad appeal from savoury applications to gourmet confections. P.Jacquin’s dedication to using high-quality, regionally-sourced ingredients ensures a consistency in taste and aroma that is rarely paralleled. Each bite, delicate yet complex, encapsulates the timeless craft and sincere dedication of the Jacquin family in what is not just a cheese, but a celebration of taste and tradition.

Wine Pairing: Best with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a sophisticated Chenin Blanc to bring out the rich textures and complex notes of the cheese.
The Jacquin Legacy: Tradition Meets Innovation in Cheese
Fromagerie Pascal Jacquin et Fils, the proud family-owned producer of P. Jacquin Buchette Cranberry, began its journey in 1947 in the picturesque Loire Valley, a region steeped in cheese-making history and renowned for its artisanal foods. Across three generations, the Jacquin family has continually upheld their commitment to craftsmanship and tradition. This cranberry-infused creation speaks to a celebrated continuum of flavour exploration that marries timeless heritage with innovative flair.
The use of traditional hand-ladling and affinage techniques pay homage to the enduring significance of local produce and artisanal methods. The result is a goat cheese that simultaneously celebrates and transcends its origins, making it a cherished addition to any cheese lover’s collection. From its holiday appeal, highlighted by the festive touch of cranberries, to its unmistakable French elegance, this product epitomizes the intersection of past and present in gourmet culinary art.
