Coupole is a pasteurized goat's milk cheese with a unique shape and appearance. Vermont Butter and Cheese Company combined the technology of the Bijou and Bonne Bouche and the result is a milder cheese that has a dense and very creamy texture, especially the center, a sweet rind with a yeast flavor that increases as the cheese ages.
The small 6.5 oz. Coupole looks like a snow covered dome with a sprinkle of ash on the top; it is a delicate hand-shaped cheese.
When the cheese is moved into the aging room the rind develops wrinkles around the sides of the cheese. This cheese can be eaten young or allow the flavor to strengthen until its full maturity, after 45 days.
