A French cheese made from pasteurized or unpasteurized goat's milk. Made as a log of cheese, the traditional Saint-Maure will be produced with a blade of straw or a wooden stick placed through the cheese log, end to end. Moist and creamy in texture, this cheese has a pure white color inner meat that may be covered with an ash-coated outer rind. If the rind is not ash-coated, it will be light tan in color that becomes increasingly darker colored as it ages.
