Production

Faisselle is traditionally produced in the centre of France, but because its name is not protected, it can be produced anywhere else in the country. The cheese produced elsewhere uses pasteurized milk to make it appealing to a wider customer base.

Composition

The cheese is traditionally made from raw milk from cows, goats, or sheep, and is between 500 g (18 oz) and 1 kg (2.2 lb) on average.[2]

Consumption

Faisselle is often eaten as a savory dessert served with salt, pepper, and either chives or shallots. It is also eaten as a sweet dessert, served with sugar or honey.[2] It is used as an ingredient in a number of dessert dishes, including cakes and tarts.
