Commentary
Selles sur Cher is named after the region where it was first commercialised - the Loir-et-Cher. The area of production of the cheese now comprises a group of regions south of the Loire River where the climate is mild. These are: Sologne, Touraine and Champagne Berrichone. This area is renowned for its sandy terrain and clay, which when mixed with the mild climate, gives the hay particular characteristics which flavour the milk of the goats that consume it, and therefore the cheese. Originally the cheese was produced for family consumption, and is still produced in the shape of a flat, bevelled disk.
