jonchée
mild curdled cheese
In the Charente Maritime’s coastal areas they make jonchée, a mild, fresh goat, cow or sheep cheese, similar to caillebotte, only wrapped and drained in little mats made of rushes that give this slightly grainy cheese its shape and a bit of an herbal flavour. It is often served as a dessert with jam or fruit.
