Raw whole goat milk is seeded with whey from the last batch, set with a little rennet at no more than 25 °C and left 18 to 36 hours to sour into a firm lactic curd. The uncut curd is ladled into tall moulds, drained, dry-salted and ripened at least 16 days into a large barrel-shaped cheese covered mainly in Geotrichum. Made in 7 steps over 22 days – 23 days. The longest step, ripen, takes at least 16 days (Ministère de l'agriculture 2014) and runs at 8–15 °C (Ministère de l'agriculture 2014). Salt is 1.5–2.5 % (Ministère de l'agriculture 2014). Lactic bacteria carried over in whey from the previous Charolais batch and Geotrichum, the main rind flora do most of the fermenting.
Amounts from a sourceThe specification fixes limits, not a recipe. Each ripened cheese weighs 250–310 g, 60–70 mm across at mid-height and 70–85 mm high.

What makes this one different
Charolais is a lactic goat cheese like those of the Loire, but much taller and heavier, so it needs at least two refills of the mould and a longer ripening of 16 days. The starter is whey kept from the farm's own earlier batch.
Milk
Raw whole goat milk from Alpine and Saanen goats fed on grass and hay
Curd
Lactic curd, set 18–36 h at 18–25 °C with whey from the last batch
Ripening
At least 16 days after renneting
Size
250–310 g; 60–70 mm across at mid-height, 70–85 mm high
This is a raw-milk soft cheese. ANSES advises pregnant women, young children, people over 65 and people with weak immunity not to eat raw-milk cheeses other than hard cooked ones, because of Listeria, Salmonella and Shiga-toxin E. coli. Cooking the cheese removes the risk.
Hazards the sources name: Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella and Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli (risks ANSES names for raw-milk cheeses).
Goat keeping was widespread in Saône-et-Loire at the end of the 19th century, with 40,000 goats in 1892. The cheese was made by farm women as a side line to beef cattle; its size and good keeping made it popular with miners who did seasonal farm work in the 1950s. Collectors called coquetiers sold it on to Lyon and Roanne, and from the 1970s it reached Paris. It became an appellation in 2010.
