Soft whole goat's milk cheese, presented in the shape of a disc, coated with wood charcoal powder.

Geographical area: Western Sologne, including parts of the Cher, Indre and Loir-et-Cher départements.

Originally this was a homemade cheese for family consumption made from the milk of a few goats on the farm. Its production was developed in the 19th century. Its name comes from the town of Selles-sur-Cher, which became its retail centre. The term

'Selles' thus applies to the cheeses in the region that are characterized by the distinctive disc shape.
