Cantal, straight from the Auvergne
Cantal, a familiar name to those who have ever traveled through France. This French cheese is a true classic, a hard cheese that has been produced for centuries according to an authentic artisanal recipe in the picturesque region of Auvergne. It proudly holds the prestigious AOC/AOP label, alongside 43 other French cheeses, signifying its impeccable quality and unique flavor profile across Europe.
The foundation of Cantal is the rich and creamy milk of the Salers cow, a native breed thriving in the gentle green pastures of Auvergne. This milk is carefully collected and processed by skilled cheese-makers who pass down the tradition from generation to generation.
The production process of Cantal is a true art form. After a meticulous selection of the milk, it undergoes an intensive process of heating, curdling, and then precise pressing to remove all excess moisture. The cheese is then carefully cut and turned, followed by a brief resting period to develop its characteristic flavor.
Finally, Cantal is pressed into its distinctive shape under increasing pressure, with each step of the process accentuating the cheese's unique texture and taste. The result is a masterpiece of flavor and craftsmanship, a cheese that embodies the essence of Auvergne and makes every bite an unforgettable experience.
