CHAOURCE (PDO)
- A soft cheese made from whole cow milk with a fragrant rind
- A soft cheese that is slightly salty, creamy and supple.
- A chalky interior with a stronger, aged taste under the rind.
- In young cheeses: a lactic taste with the flavour of crème fraîche
- In cheeses that have aged longer: a mouldy taste, mixed with a buttery and nutty flavour
Good quality whole cow’s milk, some lactic ferments, a hint of animal rennet and a pinch of salt.
- An ancestral recipe dating from the Middle Ages
- The first written records date from the XVth century
- A renowned cheese recognised as (PDO) since 1970
- This cheese owes its name to a village in Aube, in the heart of Chaource Protected Designation of Origin area.
- A cheese that holds its own among other prestigious French cheeses.
- On a slice of toast
- Paired with a glass of Porto or Champagne as an aperitif, or in a small portion as a snack
The cheese’s exceptional character comes from the cows (which graze in the Champagne wetlands), time-honoured expertise and an unchanging recipe.
