25.01.2022 FOOD FROM FRANCE LE BOUTON DE CULOTTE The Bouton de Culotte is the smallest french goat’s milk cheese, also known as the Cabrion or the Chevreton du Mâconnais . It has the shape of a thimble and weighs 30 to 40 gr. It could be eaten young, but is prefered old or extra-old, when a pepper taste appears. Bouton-de-culotte means buttons of pants (of course, I prefer zippers to buttons, but that’s just me,) and it’s no wonder this cheese is called a button, because it’s just as cute as one, and also, about the same size as one.
