WARM HAM SANDWICHES

Goat cheese, or chèvre (from the French word for goat), is cheese made out of the milk of goats. Mother of the world for the indians and lightening for the ancient Greeks, the goat is a legendary animal and have, over many centuries, been raised for their milk, meat, skin. Settling down around 7 000 BC, the prehistoric nomadic hunter created the first goat cheeses, becoming the forerunner of all cheeses. In the Middle Ages goat cheeses was used as money as well as food for the pligrims on the roads of Saint Jacques de Compestello. The pasteurisation discovered in 1857 by Emile Duclaux was a wonderful innovation for cheese making. The first goat cheeses were marketed in France in 1935, with the safety guaranteed for the consumer. Authentic, there are 120 sorts of goat cheeses available in many shapes and flavours. Thanks to the various breeds of goats, recipes and maturations, each cheeses has its own taste. Since 2009, the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) guarantees that cheese is made according to a expertise handed down from a generation to one another, respecting strict specifications.
