Faisselle is a special kind of fresh French cheese. It's not protected by a special label, so it can be made in many places. This cheese is usually made from milk that hasn't been pasteurized, and it can come from cows, goats, or sheep. The name "Faisselle" actually comes from the special basket or mold it's drained in.

Making Faisselle Cheese

Faisselle cheese is traditionally made in the central part of France. However, because its name isn't protected by a special rule, it can be made anywhere else in France too. When it's made outside its traditional region, cheesemakers often use pasteurized milk. This means the milk has been heated to kill germs, making the cheese safe for more people to enjoy.

What Faisselle is Made Of

This cheese is usually made from raw milk, which means the milk hasn't been heated. It can come from different animals like cows, goats, or sheep. A typical Faisselle cheese weighs between 500 grams (about 1 pound) and 1 kilogram (about 2 pounds). It has a very soft texture, almost like a thick yogurt.

How to Eat Faisselle
