chèvre

Tangy goat cheese

Chèvre is goat cheese, particularly the soft, creamy, often tangy French variety with a distinctive white rind.

The word is French for "goat" and appears on menus and in recipes where it signals a specific style: a salad with warm chèvre and walnuts, chèvre crumbled over roasted beets.
