Le Provencal

(leh proh-vahn-SAHL)

This soft white cheese is a specialty from Provence: two layers of fresh goat cheeses are joined by a thin spreading of olive Tapenade.  The bottom layer is plain , fresh goat cheese while the top layer is flavored with savory "herbes de Provence". The texture is creamy and melting. The flavor is mild and delicate.
Each cheese is presented wrapped in paper and topped with an olive and an olive leaf.

An great presentation that stands out in any cheese selection.
