chèvre

nanny goat

Chèvre naine adulte

If you see the word chèvre by itself, it nearly always means cheese made from goat’s milk; if it’s a kid for the pot, it’s a chevreau.

Coeur de Chèvre

If you see Coeur de Chèvre, though, it won’t be goat heart, but rather the popular creamy raw goat’s milk cheese wrapped in a chestnut leaf.
