Sainte-Maure de Touraine is one of France's most iconic goat's cheeses, traditionally formed into a log shape with a straw running through its centre. The Moulé à la louche label indicates ladle-moulded production, a traditional technique that distinguishes artisanal from industrial formats. The raw milk declaration further underscores the artisanal character of this product.
