Award-winning goat cheese and brie
ChefsBest tasted category leaders of imported goat cheese via a panel of independent chefs. And the one they declared best in flavor, aroma and texture was Ile de France® Le Chèvre - The brand was rated highest in overall quality among its competitors for its texture, aroma character, flavor intensity, and many more features. The chèvre was also rated highest for taste balance as well as sweet and salt intensity.
Importing the creamiest French Goat Cheese
, made from the rich milk of grass-fed goats, with a fresh, tangy and slightly salty flavor, made us America's favorite. Now Chefs and consumers all agree: Ile de France Le Chèvre is Best.
The ChefsBest® Award for Best Taste is awarded to leading brands by independent professional chefs.
Ile de France Goat Cheese was named "The Best Fresh Goat Cheese" of all domestic and imported brands by a panel of editors at Fine Cooking magazine, issue of June 2006.
In its October issue of 2006, Food & Wine magazine explored supermarket cheeses for its popular Taste Test column, in search of the best Brie in the case. Once again, Ile de France won top honors, with the tester panel calling our Le Brie "buttery and mild."
