Carré de Sylvain

The Carré de Sylvain is a farmhouse goat’s cheese from the Chartreuse massif in Isère. It is named after its maker, Sylvain Francillon of the Plantimay farm.

He produces cow’s milk Tommes, as well as the classic St Marcellin and St Félicien. Alongside his cows, he also keeps goats and makes small lactic cheeses such as this square.

Beneath its fine, downy white rind lies a creamy paste; the cheese is very mild and well balanced, with subtle hints of hazelnut.
