How good is goat cheese!!!


If you ever find yourself in the Champagne region I would definitely recommend a trip to La Chevrerie de Nesle La Reposte. It took a couple of detours and bit of back-tracking to find, but oh was it worth it! This little gem boasts an exceptional goat cheese farm and a fabulous creperie is tucked away behind it. Three of us shared a cheese platter and bottle of champagne. Needless to say I now have a new-found appreciation for real goat cheese. All three selections were particularly good, but if I had to pick a favourite I really liked the one coated in ash. (It's said this brings another flavour to the cheese.)

We even got to meet some of the four-legged residents during feeding time. They certainly have good appetites!


There were feathery friends ready to greet us as well...


La Creperie du Moulin was also popular with the locals that night. Be warned - you need to make a reservation in order to secure a table! After all the cheese, bread and champagne I went straight for dessert... a mint chocolate crepe! Mmmmm...
