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.

Chavroux is a brand of fresh goat's cheese from the Cognac area of France. The milk is pasteurized, and the paste is white, mild, and soft enough to spread. The best known piece is a small pyramid with a flat top, and a short log is sold as well. The fresh pyramid has no dry rind. Cooks use it on bread, in salads, and in warm dishes when they want goat's milk without a sharp farmyard taste.
