Product Profile:

Taking it’s name from one of the ruined castles left by the crusaders of the 11th century, this unusual soft blue cheese is made exclusively from the rich cows milk of the Massif Central and officially certified as “lait de Montagne”. Blue mould is introduced into the curd before the cheeses are smothered in charcoal. This very traditional way of protecting the fresh curds encourages a natural rind which becomes flecked with moulds and is responsible for slowly softening the cheese as it matures. Soft and creamy with a mild blue lightly salty flavour when young, the cheese will gradually become stronger with age.
