Brousse du Rove ✦

Brousse du Rove

What it is

The milk is set with acid rather than rennet and slipped, entirely unsalted, into the little twelve-centimetre cornets it is sold in. The Rove goats kid in mid-winter, so there is no brousse at all from November until the herd is back in milk.

In the kitchen

No salt means no keeping — eat it within two or three days. It goes as a dessert, with orange-flower water and sugar, as readily as it goes under olive oil and pepper.

Goes with

Olive oil Honey Orange blossom water Black pepper Fig Thyme Lemon Strawberry

In season alongside

Fresh walnut Pauillac lamb Chayote Kid goat Cucumber Fresh green hazelnut
