Description
Langres Chalancey is a soft, raw cow's milk cheese from the Champagne region of France, known for its distinct aroma and flavor profile - this is a delicious pungent "stinky" cheese with a bold, distinctive aroma! Originating from the high plains of Langres, this cheese is recognized by its smoky-bacon scent, which is less intense than the famous Époisses but still carries a robust, salty tang.
When young, Langres has a firm and slightly grainy texture that melts smoothly in your mouth, offering a complex taste. As it matures over a period of 5 to 6 weeks, the cheese becomes creamier, with the rind breaking down into a smooth, rich surface. This farmhouse cheese is unique in shape, often resembling a small cone or cylinder with a characteristic hollow top.
During the aging process, Langres is kept in humid cellars and regularly washed with brine, either by hand or with a damp cloth. This treatment encourages the growth of orange bacteria and yeast on the rind, resulting in its vibrant color and distinctive flavor. Each unit of Langres Chalancey is carefully packaged in a wooden box and weighs 6.3 oz (180 g).
