Chaource

This cheese takes its name from a market town in Aube and has proven very popular with lovers of soft and creamy cheese. Comprising whole cow’s milk, it is made through slow coagulation before being put in moulds and naturally drained. It is salted with dry salt and then left to dry before being placed in the maturing cellars. After fourteen days, Chaource acquires a smooth rind with bloomy white mould and gives of an aroma that brings to mind cream and fresh mushrooms.
