Cheese Langres AOP Cow Milk LFM 250gr
Description
History of Langres AOP
Langres came to attention in the middle of the 18th century, in a song written by Langres’s Dominican Prior. One century later, a reference book on cheese making mentions the “cheese from Langres”. Back then, it is mainly made by the farmers themselves, for their own consumption and occasionally for sale at the local markets. As more and more people fall for its unique taste, the trade of cheese from Langres starts to flourish: Langres cheesemongers buy unripened cheese from the farmers, take care themselves of the maturation of the cheese, and then ship their production all the way to Paris and occasionally to Geneva.
Fabrication
Sylvain only uses cow milk to make his cheese. Rennet is added to the milk, which is then left to curdle. The curds are then put into molds. Finally, Sylvain makes sure that the curds are drained for at least 24 hours.
The curds are then unmolded, dry-salted and put to dry on a grid rack. As it ripens, the cheese is washed in successive rubbings. It takes 15 days for the 250-gram cheese to ripen, and 21 days for the 350-gram one.
The hollow, so representative of the Langres, is due to the fact that during the ripening, the cheese is turned once only: a hollow is thus formed on the cheese under the pressure of gravity. According to Sylvain, the quality of Langres ultimately rests on the quality of its maturation.
Tasting advice
Langres is usually enjoyed at the end of a meal. It may also be used to prepare hot dishes.
Wine pairing
Any full-bodied red wine will make a pleasant pair with Langres, as will Marc de Bourgogne and Champagne.

red rind, with a cavity, or “fountain”,
on the top side of the cheese.
