A distinctive washed rind cheese from the Champagne region of France, recognizable by its unique sunken top called a "fontaine" or fountain. This AOC-protected cheese has been craf ted since the 18th century in the plateau town of Langres. Traditionally, the depression on top is filled with Champagne or Marc de Bourgogne before serving. The cheese features a wrinkled orange rind and a creamy, sometimes chalky interior with earthy, tangy flavors that intensify as it ages. 180g Show more
