Did You Know?

Chèvre is the French name for goat cheese, which has a distinctive sharp flavor. It comes in a variety of shapes and the texture can vary from moist and creamy to dry and semifirm.

Substitution

You can replace the kalamata olives with another variety, such as green or a mixed medley.

We recommend using organic ingredients where available. For more information see Why Go Organic?
