of the difference between mass produced and
artisan. A cheese like this is a labor of love, and
we are very excited to see it hitting stores. "
RESPECTING THE CRAFT
Francois Challet, creamery manager for
Sonoma, Calif.-based Laura Chenel, said at the
core of artisan cheesemaking is working with a
simple raw material, respecting it, transforming
it, and elevating it to its highest potential. " For
us as cheesemakers, we respect and care for our
milk, we don't want to transform it, and we do
our best to minimally affect the integrity of the
milk, " he said.
Accordingly, Challet said that they adapt
their cheesemaking techniques depending on
the milk they receive to handcraft a consistent
high-quality goat cheese, instead of trying to
change the milk itself. " You can taste all the
care we have for our milk in our cheese, it's the
reason why we have that clean, bright, slightly
tangy flavor, " he said.
Laura Chenel's product lineup includes
French-style goat cheeses with varying levels
of texture. " From high-moisture like our
Chef's Chevre and Spreadable Goat Cheese,
to less moisture like our logs for slicing or our
crumbles for topping recipes, we adapt to the
needs of our chefs at home, " Challet said. " Our
marinated goat cheese is a heritage product
from our founder, Laura, that she created in
the 1980s that we have now expanded upon to
include two additional flavors for a product line
of three - Thyme and Rosemary, Black Truffle
and Jalapeno Chili. "
Laura Chenel also produces aged goat
Creamy Brie which the company is proud to say
is a Good Food Awards winner. " We recently
introduced our new range of 4-ounce logs, the
most popular size in the goat cheese market,
and a new flavor for our Chabis heritage goat
cheese line -Everything Bagel Fresh Goat
Cheese, " Challet said.
Challet said Laura Chenel is a niche boutique
company because it handcrafts goat cheese
made from milk sourced exclusively from
family farms in the West. " Laura Chenel was a
trailblazer in the 1970s who really brought goat
cheese to the American market, " he said. " It is
still a cheese that is new to the American palate.
Today there are many just discovering the world
of goat cheese and the amazing flavors and
diversity it has to offer. "
HIGH-QUALITY CARE
According to Michelle Sheely, head of sales
for Sonoma, Calif.-based St. Benoit Creamery,
artisan means small batch delivery made

a simple raw
material,
respecting it,
transforming it,
and elevating
it to its highest
potential. "
