About the dish

Tourteau fromagé is a traditional pastry from the Poitou region in France, made with fresh goat cheese. Originating from the Pays Mellois, its name derives from "tourterie," meaning "cake" in the Poitevin dialect. Historically baked in rounded earthenware dishes, it features a distinctive blackened dome crust contrasting with a soft, creamy white interior. The filling is made with eggs, sugar, flour, fresh goat cheese, and a pinch of salt and is encased in shortcrust pastry. Traditionally enjoyed at weddings, it remains popular during Easter and other convivial gatherings.
