Chèvre (pronounced “SHEV-ruh” or sometimes simply “SHEV”) is a type of French cheese made from goat’s milk. Depending on how it’s made, Chèvre can have different flavors and textures.

Goat cheese has been made for thousands of years, and was probably one of the earliest made dairy products. Goat’s milk is often consumed by young children, the elderly, those who are ill, and many people who have a low tolerance to cow’s milk.
