For 17 years Babeth and Cathy have been raising fifty-odd goats at 1100 meters altitude, between forests and prairies. That which undoubtedly explains the quality of their cheeses : bouchon, écu, coeur, brique. A total of fifteen varietes, from the youngest to the most mature. A delight. From 0.5 to 12 euros the piece.
