Day 432 : A tip for those in search of the Loire Valley Goats

Are you like a huge fan of Loire Valley goat's milk cheeses like I am? Want to find a large selection at a good price? Tired of paying fifteen dollars for a small roundelle of cheese when you know you should be paying less? And want a broader selection?

Head to Zabar's on Broadway between 80th and 81st streets. You will find a nice selection of Crottins, Chevrots, and more. All of which will be at a better price than anywhere else in town and trust me you will find a larger selection. The selection is both behind the counter and the refrigerated areas so plan to investigate both and be pleased.

What did I get?

I got a Chevre d'or (literally translated as the Golden chevre)  -- a hockey puck sized round of naturally ripened aged goat's milk cheese -- tangy, grassy, citrusy, lactic and milky in all the ways that a classic Loire Valley goat delights!
