pyramide cheese
Definition:
[pih-rah-MEED] A truncated pyramid is the shape of this small French chèvre that's often coated with an edible dark-gray vegetable ash. It's produced around the central Loire valley area of France. Pyramide can range in texture from soft to slightly crumbly and, depending on age, in flavor from mild to sharp. It's wonderful served with crackers or bread and fruit. See also cheese.
