This week I’m celebrating Fromage Friday with Selles sur Cher {SELL-sur-SHARE}. This quintessential Loire Valley goat’s milk gem was one of the first cheeses given AOC status, and it’s an easy summer fave. Its light dusting of ash on the outside is a traditional addition, while the interior is milky, creamy and perfectly oozy with just a hint of citrus at the finish. Uncork a bottle of chilled Rosé, Pouilly Fume or Sancerre to seal the deal…
New accoutrement alert: Sonoma Syrup Co has added a spectacular candied fig and vanilla jam as part of their cheese drizzler line. Pairing it with the Selles sur Cher allows me to satisfy my cheese tooth and sweet tooth simultaneously. It has a lot more going on than your standard fig preserves – handcrafted in small batches with local California figs and a splash of Carneros Chardonnay, the addition of Tahitian and Madagascar vanilla elevates this spread to new flavor heights. http://tinyurl.com/63de9xs

It’s such a pleasure reading your blog — like a picnic on my computer screen.
(Love the little box you pictured this cheese in, too — and the vanilla fig jam!) Fruit and cheese are wonderful in any form!
Kim, this cheese comes in the little wooden crate – charming, isn’t it?
It’s looks amazing and delicious! ♥
Rachel, What a spectacular photograph! The balsamic vinegar that we add also keeps the savory and sweet in balance for perfect cheese pairing. Thank you for the lovely culinary delight and I can not wait to try the Candied Fig Jam with your cheese selection! Thank you and Cheers! Karin
