The famous French goat’s cheese, Chèvre is one of the most popular cheeses in the world and it offers many health benefits.

Knowing what beverages go well with this cheese is a question I have received numerous times from friends and family alike.

In general, when pairing beverages with cheese, you want to focus on texture, intensity, and type of flavor.

You can either pair by complementing or by contrasting. Both work well and it is fun to experience with both types.
