Le Mothais sur feuilleis a goat’s milk cheese made from raw and whole milk. It is white, creamy has a fondant texture, a fine and light odor, and hazelnut aroma.

During the maturity period, it is covered in a protective chestnut, sycamore or plain leaf coating, which will absorb moisture and thus give the Mothais a creamier and thinner crust.

The cheese takes its name from the commune of Mothe-Saint-Héray in the Deux-Sèvres, but its production area is wider, from the south of Vienne to the north of the Charente and the Charente-Maritime. It has been found in local markets since 1840.
