About Chaource

Chaource is a Cow cheese from Chaource in the French Ardenne region.

It is a soft cheese much like Camembert, with a white mold on the outside (Penicillium Candidum rind), and a soft mass inside.

in her 2010 book "Cheese: Exploring Taste and Tradition", Patricia Michelson says: "Chaource has a bitter nutshell-like flavor, with an earthiness reminiscent of the style of the wine here. You should be careful to find the perfect flavor partner, however, because the cheese is also on the salty side."
