Murray's Cheese
Petit Billy

This product is not currently available.

We feed this sweet little number to friends who claim to loathe goat's milk. Light, bright and creamy, it has none of supermarket goat cheese's crumbly, dry characteristics. We love it packed into a picnic basket, tucked under the skin of a roast chicken with sage leaves, or solo, with baguette and a glass of grassy Sauvignon Blanc.

Here's what you get:

  • One piece (typically 8 oz) of Petit Billy

Goat Cheese is for Lovers

Petit Billy is a creamy, fresh goat cheese with a slight milky tang that hails from the medieval town (complete with fairytale castles and tall stone turrets) of the same name in France's Loire Valley.  We love it in the summertime when matched with stone fruits or crumbled over salads. Seek out a grassy, sprightly Sauvignon Blanc for a classic pairing—or a glass of bubbly if you're feeling celebratory.
