Langres AOP is a washed-rind cow's milk cheese from the Champagne region of France, weighing approximately 250 grams. Recognizable by its sunken top and orange-hued rind, this cheese is certified under the AOP designation, confirming its traditional production and regional authenticity.

Detailed Information

Produced using thermized cow's milk, Langres is molded into a cylindrical shape with a signature concave top, known as the "fontaine," traditionally used to hold a splash of Marc de Champagne or other local spirits. The rind is washed and develops a sticky, orange appearance due to the surface bacteria. As it matures, the interior becomes increasingly creamy, with a dense, soft paste that offers a tangy, slightly salty flavor with hints of earth and cellar.
