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.

Crottin de Chavignol is a small goat's milk cheese from Centre-Val de Loire in France. Each piece is a short round with a thin natural rind. Young cheese is pale, soft, and mild, with a creamy center. Cheese kept longer turns drier, darker, and stronger in flavor. The name refers to that small rounded shape, which becomes more obvious as the outside dries and darkens.
