This 250g artisanal cheese is protected by its AOP (Appellation d'Origine Protégée) certification, ensuring its authenticity and connection to the Valençay region in central France. A delight for cheese lovers, Valençay offers a balance of tangy, nutty flavors and a creamy, delicate texture.

Detailed Information:

Valençay is crafted from high-quality goat’s milk and aged under a fine coating of edible ash. This unique process gives the cheese its characteristic greyish rind, which contrasts beautifully with its white, creamy interior. The cheese's flavors evolve with aging, becoming more complex while maintaining its fresh, tangy profile.

• Flavor Profile: Mildly tangy and creamy with nutty and earthy undertones that develop as it matures.
• Texture: Smooth and creamy interior with a soft, slightly crumbly structure beneath the thin ash rind.
• Packaging: 250g pyramid-shaped cheese, presented with its iconic ashed rind.

Pairing Suggestions:

• Best enjoyed with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a dry rosé to highlight its tangy and nutty flavors.
• Serve with honey, nuts, or dried fruits for an elegant cheese board presentation, or pair with fresh baguette for a rustic touch.

Storage and Usage Instructions:

• Store at 2-6°C to maintain freshness and optimal texture.
• Bring the cheese to room temperature for 30 minutes before serving to fully develop its aroma and flavor.
