Faisselle is an non-protected French cheese made of raw milk from cows, goats, or sheep. The name comes from the mold in which the cheese is strained: fr (Faisselle (cooking implement); faisselle).

Production

Faisselle is traditionally produced in the center of France, but because its name is not protected, it can be produced anywhere else in France. The cheese produced elsewhere uses pasteurized milk to facilitate marketing.

Composition

The cheese is made from raw milk from cows, goats, or sheep, and is between 500 g (18 oz) and 1 kg (2.2 lb) on average.[1]
