Chabichou is a goat's milk cheese specialised in Porto. Usually placed for 10 to 20 days to mature. Perfect for 3 weeks for its freshness, 6 for its smoothness, or two months for its mellowness. Erika gives the taste, it should not be the Chabichou of 2 months, maybe 2 years, or longer. If you slice open the chabichou's tough rind, the most flavorful aspect of the entire cheese is exposed. Walter touched on this level in a few moments. Chabichou is sweet and mellow like other goat's milk cheeses, but it has a sour and salty finish. Perfect for dessert, usually only in summer. The best partner is Sancerre, a white wine.
Located in the Loire Valley in northwestern France, Sancerre matured earlier than its neighbour Pouilly Fumé, just as Walter was earlier than his peers on the show.
However, the dinner is over. In the hot summer of southern France, the richness and sour aftertaste of Chabichou can only make people taste it, close and far. Even the well-known Sancerre can only make it a short-lived, followed by strangers.
The most impressive line in the film is "I'm only a piano teacher, not a poet."
