Cabécou is a delicious soft goat cheese from southern France. It is famous in the Midi-Pyrénées and Aquitaine regions. This cheese has a creamy color. It often has a thin, striped rind. After about two weeks, a blue mold can grow on its crust. This mold changes the cheese's taste in a special way.

Cabécou is usually made from fresh goat's milk. This milk comes from goats living in areas like the Massif Central. These areas include places such as Quercy, Rouergue, Haute-Auvergne, Limousin, and Périgord.

When to Enjoy Cabécou Cheese

The best time to eat Cabécou cheese is from April to August. This is when it tastes its freshest and best.

What Does Cabécou Mean?

The name "Cabécou" comes from the Occitan language. In Occitan, the words cabra or craba mean "goat." This makes sense since Cabécou is a goat cheese!
