The cheese

Artisan goat cheese, made in Algeria

A fresh, lactic-set chèvre log made at our dairy in Laghouat with milk from our own herd and processed the same day it is drawn. Stocked by around ten fine grocers, restaurants and hotels in Algiers.

Where can you buy goat cheese in Algeria?

Cabri fresh goat cheese is stocked by around ten fine grocers, restaurants and hotels across Algiers — Alger-Centre, El Biar, Kouba, Staoueli, Douéra, Ben Aknoun and Dar El Beida — and sold directly at the dairy in Laghouat. You can also order on WhatsApp at +213 770 954 727.

Until now, finding real goat cheese in Algeria was a matter of luck: a handful of producers in Kabylia or Tipaza, informal sales, no consistency. Cabri exists to change that — one herd, one workshop, and a regular supply into Algiers.

A lactic curd, not a pressed one

The Cabri log is a lactic-set cheese: the milk is inoculated with selected cultures and left to set slowly, at low temperature, for close to twenty-four hours. That is the opposite of a pressed cheese, where rennet does the work in an hour.

This long set is what gives fresh chèvre its melting texture and its clean, gentle tang — never aggressive. It also makes the cheese fragile: it does not travel like a gouda, which is precisely why it barely existed in Algerian distribution until a producer took charge of the cold chain themselves.

The milk is pasteurised at the Laghouat workshop, then made into cheese the same day it is drawn. No milk is bought in, nothing is blended, nothing is added.

How to serve it

Fresh chèvre stands on its own, but it works hard too.

On warm bread

A thick slice on bread straight from the oven, olive oil, thyme. Nothing shows off a same-day fresh cheese better.

As salade de chèvre chaud

Two rounds under the grill for three minutes, set on salad with walnuts and honey. The log holds its shape under heat.

As a spread

Crushed with a fork, olive oil, pepper and herbs — an aperitif spread in thirty seconds.

On a cheeseboard

Out of the fridge fifteen minutes before serving. The aromas only really open at room temperature.

Goat cheese — frequently asked

The log is moulded into a cylinder and drained a little more: firmer, sliceable, and it holds under heat. The fresh cheese is moulded wetter and creamier, and is worked with a spoon. Both come from the same milk and the same lactic curd — only the moulding and draining differ.

Between 0 and 4 °C, in its original wrapping or an airtight box, and eaten within 7 to 10 days of opening. Take it out of the fridge a quarter of an hour before serving — at room temperature the aromas are far more expressive.

Not automatically. Fresh goat cheese contains less lactose than the milk it came from, because some leaves with the whey during draining, but it still contains lactose. Anyone genuinely intolerant should take a doctor's advice rather than rely on a general rule.

No. All our milk is pasteurised at our Laghouat workshop before it is made into cheese. That is a food-safety decision, and a non-negotiable one once a fresh product has to travel to Algiers.

Yes. We deliver across Algiers, Blida and Boumerdès, and the cheese is also carried by around ten stockists in Algiers. Message us on WhatsApp at +213 770 954 727 for delivery slots and minimum orders.
