Rovethym was created by Pierre Pradier from the Jas de Melchior farm in 2000. He combined the words Rove, after the breed of goat, and thyme, after the animal’s primary diet to name his new creation.
Rovethym is a small production goat’s milk cheese from Provence in France. The ‘Chevre de Rove’ goats are able to roam the pastures of the Alpes de Provence from spring to late autumn, enjoying herbs and wild flowers as their primary diet. They eat rosemary, thyme, lavender and savoury and produce a very rich, concentrated and flavoursome milk in return.
Each cheese is hand moulded in a small piece of cloth/linen.
The goats are outdoor reared, fed a homegrown diet, and the cheese is made on the same site as the grazing fields, so there are no food miles involved in production.
