Langres is a washed rind cheese, hailing from the Langres plateau which lies on the cusp of two great wine producing regions - Champagne and Burgundy. The cheese's distinctive orange rind is gained through a series of washes with annato and Marc de Bourgogne, an eau de vie made from Champagne grape skins. Washing aids in the breakdown of the cheese's lactic, chalky centre into something more unctuous and creamy. It also adds a pleasant fruity, boozy note to the finish.
Made with pasteurised cow's milk and animal rennet in Champgne-Ardennes, France.
