Langres is a delightfully smelly and gooey washed rind cheese from France. Eating this cheese is a must have experience.

Aroma

Strong and salty.

Taste

Salty but it has a smooth rounding. Initially you might think the salt is too overpowering but the finish reassures you. 

Texture

Gooey

Look

I has an enticing folded skin and and a pale yellow interior. The rind is edible.

 

Manufacturing and Salting Method

A high acid curd is pressed into small moulds and pressed. Then the small wheels are brine washed as they mature.

Serving

Perfect on a cheeseboard or smeared on crusty bread or grissini.

Wine

Cheese.com suggests ‘…red Wine from Burgundy, Marc de Bourgogne or Champagne’.
