Bucheron is a soft goat's milk cheese from France, formed as a short log. The name means woodcutter, which fits the snowy white shape. A bloomy rind covers an ivory paste that is denser in the center and creamier near the edge. The center tastes bright and a little tart. The outer paste is milder, softer, and tastes of mushrooms from the rind.

Caprino is the Italian name for goat's milk cheese, and it covers a family rather than one wheel from one valley. The word comes from capra, the Italian word for a goat. Fresh caprino is the version most shops mean, a small soft cheese that is white, spreadable, and bright with tang. Aged caprino is firmer, saltier, and better for cutting than for spreading. Italy produces both, and the plain name has no single town attached to it.
