Cheese Description:

» Abbaye de Belloc «

Traditional, farmhouse, unpasteurized, hard cheese made from sheep's milk. It has a shape of flat wheel with natural, crusty, brownish rind with patches of red, orange and yellow. The rind is marked with tiny craters. The cheese was founded by Benedictine monks. For centuries they have made their cheese from milk, produced in the locality. The cheese has a firm, dense, rich and creamy texture. The taste resembles burnt caramel and there is a distinctive lanolin aroma.
