Picodon is a round goat cheese, whose name comes from the Occitan dialect in the South of France, and which means “to tingle”. It is easy to recognise with its pleasant smell, its tender heart and its delightful nutty aromas.

Did you know that ?
Picodon is the first cheese that ever did a tour around Earth, in a space shuttle! The astronaut Jean-Jacques Favier indeed took 14 cheeses along with him in 1995, on board the American shuttle: Columbia. A big trip for a very small cheese!
