Will Studd Pont L'Eveque Cheese Le Conquerant

Le Conquerant Pont L'Eveque is a traditional washed rind cheese from France. The aroma is more intense than the actual flavor of the cheese, which tastes like cured meats, hay, and salted butter. It is best enjoyed when the stiff center has broken down to a soft fudgy texture, with a deliciously mild creamy finish. This pungent cheese has monastic origins from the heart of the Pays de Auge in Normandy, France. It is specially selected by cheese expert Will Studd. It's made using fresh whole milk collected from the designated AOC region of Pont L'Eveque. The word Demi refers to its small size, which influences how quickly this traditional, soft surface-ripened cheese will ripen compared to its larger cousins. Le Conquerant Demi Pont LEveque is packed in a poplar wood box and wrapped in wax paper to form the ideal micro-environment for maturation.
