The rich history of Cantal
Cantal is one of the oldest cheeses in France and comes from the beautiful, rugged mountainous region of Auvergne. This cheese has been made for over two thousand years and proudly bears the AOP label (Appellation d'Origine Protégée). This guarantees that the cheese has been produced according to strict and traditional methods in the designated region. High-quality, pasteurized cow's milk is used for this variant, which ensures an accessible yet characterful taste.
The texture of the Cantal is firm, but melts wonderfully soft in the mouth. The taste can best be described as rich, earthy, buttery and slightly nutty. The older the cheese, the more piquant and crumbly it becomes. Cantal is not only an excellent addition to a classic cheese board, but thanks to its perfect melting properties, it is also highly recommended in warm dishes, such as casseroles, grilled sandwiches or the traditional French 'truffade'.
Freshly cut from the knife for the highest quality
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat this authentic French mountain cheese with the deepest respect. We only cut your piece of Cantal fresh from the large cheese wheel as soon as we receive your order. Immediately after cutting, we pack the cheese tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To protect the refined aromas during transport, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. This guarantees you absolute top quality and freshness at home.
