Mothais sur Feuille was on the verge of being lost to history until Monsieur Georgelet started producing this historic cheese again.

"Feuille" is a chestnut leaf and its function is more than decorative. The leaves are picked in the fall when the leaves turn brown and are ready to fall from the tree. The leaves are important for the development of cheeses. The dry leaves absorb moisture from the cheese, which is then gradually released back into the cheese during ripening, when the paste breaks down under the leaves.

Mature cheeses have a hint of earthiness and hazelnuts, which offers an even more exciting taste experience!
