Clochette (French for "little bell") is a bell-shaped, mold-ripened goat cheese from the Poitou-Charentes region in France. It is matured for two weeks and has a lifespan of about 45 days[1]. It has a wrinkled, edible white rind; and a firm, dense, velvety texture. The older the clochette, the more wrinkled its surface and the firmer its inner texture. It has a well-balanced, non-challenging, tangy, and goaty flavor.
