Phnom Penh's Sensation: The Crottin de Phnom Penh Goat Cheese

In the capital Phnom Penh, an unexpected product is making waves: Crottin de Phnom Penh, an artisanal goat cheese now available at Khéma Pasteur. Inspired by French cheesemaking traditions, this crottin is proudly made in Cambodia, on Koh Dach island, in small batches to ensure exceptional quality.

A Millennia-Old Story Reimagined in Cambodia

Goat crottin originates from France's Centre-Val de Loire region, where it has been produced since the Middle Ages. Its name evokes its round, flattened shape, resembling a horse's "crottin," and it was traditionally aged in damp cellars to develop its ashy rind and pungent flavor.

In Cambodia, this ancient recipe has been brilliantly adapted by local artisans, using fresh goat milk from the Phnom Penh area.

Born from a Franco-Cambodian passion, Crottin de Phnom Penh perpetuates this heritage while rooting itself in the tropical terroir, marking a unique cheesemaking renaissance in Southeast Asia.

Made from fresh local goat milk, this cheese reveals a delicate, melting texture with a refined, slightly tangy flavor. Neither too creamy nor too dry, it delights with its perfect balance.

Enjoy it plain to savor its purity, or pair it with nuts, raisins, and a good glass of wine – an irresistible combination that evokes the most sophisticated cheese platters.

What makes Crottin de Phnom Penh unique is its authenticity: 100% local artisanal production, infused with French inspiration passed down by passionate master cheesemakers. In Cambodia, where artisanal dairy products are rare, this cheese embodies a bold marriage of ancestral know-how and tropical terroir. Each crottin is a little work of art, proof that cheesemaking excellence transcends borders.
