Faisselle is a 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: faisselle.
Faisselle is traditionally produced in the center of France, but because its name is not protected, it can be produced anywhere else in the country. The cheese produced elsewhere uses pasteurized milk to make it appealing to a wider audience.
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.
Faisselle is often eaten as a savory dessert served with salt, pepper, and either chives or shallots. It is also eaten as a sweet dessert, served with sugar or honey. It is also used in a number of dessert dishes, including cakes and tarts.
