Olivet Cendré by Frères Marchand is a traditional French cow’s milk cheese coated with ash. Produced in France, it reflects classic cheesemaking techniques from the Loire Valley. This product is intended for cheese boards and culinary use.

Detailed Information

Olivet Cendré is made from cow’s milk and covered in a layer of vegetable ash, which helps regulate moisture and contributes to rind development. The cheese typically has a soft to slightly firm texture depending on maturation, with a natural rind that evolves over time.
The texture is creamy and supple when matured, with a smooth interior. The flavour profile is mild and lactic, developing more pronounced earthy and slightly mushroom-like notes as it ages, making it suitable for cheese platters or simple pairings.
