Petit Langres PDO

Petit Langres is a smelly, rind washed cheese with a pungent aroma and fruity flavour. It is crumbly and acidic, particularly when young, but eventually breaks down to a softer paste with a strong, funky, savoury and meaty flavour.

The History, Dairy & Farm, Animals & Maker

Langres is a rind washed cheese, from the Langres Plateau in the Grand East region of France, which encompasses Côte-d’Or, Haute Marne, Vosges and the canton of Neufchâteau.
The cheese is traditionally washed in Marc de Bourgogne brandy, though this does not form part of its PDO specifications, and it is commonly washed in brine and annatto as it is matured.
The indentation on top is known as the ‘fontaine’ and is best filled with champagne as it is served, for an incredibly decadent pairing.
