When we think of French goat cheese, we reminisce about the open air markets where small, delicately ripened, Crottins de Chavignol are on display. An American line of French-style ripened goats' cheeses from Vermont Creamery would not be complete without a small bijou-like crottin. "Bijou" is French for jewel and this new cheese epitomizes all that is special about goats and goat's milk, and the making of and caring for a small cheese.

Bijou is made from pasteurized goat's milk. After 24 hours of maturation/coagulation, the fragile curd is transferred into cheese cloth to drain overnight. The next day, the Bijou are formed and moved into a drying room. After a day in "sechoir", the cheeses are transferred into the aging room where the natural geotricum rind will grow in a controlled environment. At the right maturity, the cheeses are wrapped in their individual "micro-cave" packaging.

When wrapped in its micro-cave, the cheese is still fresh with a delicate rind. As it ages, the interior becomes soft and the flavor more robust. When in France, you cannot read a menu that does not include "chevre chaud". Simply cut Bijou in half and place rind side up on a baguette. Toast under the broiler for five minutes and serve with a salad. This French-Style Bistro entrée is perfect for a gathering with friends.

  • Made from pasteurized goat's milk. Awarded 1st by the American Cheese Society in the American Made/International Style goat's milk category.
  • Suitable for vegetarians.
  • Package contains two 2 oz. bijous.
  • Voted "Outstanding New Product" at the 2007 New York Fancy Food Show. Won 1st in the American Made/International Style category in 2015 by the American Cheese Society.

How We Ship

FreshWave Packaging

Our products are always shipped so they will arrive at your door in optimal condition! We’ve carefully selected packaging options that have minimal impact on the environment without compromising on food safety or quality. 

For perishable orders, we line our shipping boxes with Tempguard - a unique, padded insulator made of 100% pre-consumer recycled paper material. We further control the temperature with recycled kraft paper fill and non-toxic frozen gel packs. In the summer months, we may include dry ice to ensure fresh delivery in very hot weather.

Note: Please join our efforts to be mindful of our environment and extend the life-cycle of our packaging, by recycling your shipping box, Tempguard liner, and kraft fill (all 100% curbside recyclable!). Store the gel packs in your freezer and reuse to keep your next picnic or road trip fare cool.
