According to legend, this soft, nutty goats’ cheese used to be made in the shape of a perfect pyramid. But when Napoleon stopped off at Valençay castle on his return from an unsuccessful expedition in Egypt, he was so enraged by the shape of the cheese that he chopped off the pointed top with his sword. Third generation family business Jacquin makes the cheese using raw milk, natural rennet and a slow set for the curds, which takes up to 36 hours.
