Aged for at least 15 days, Langres is regularly washed in brine and annatto, giving its rind a beautiful orange hue and slightly wrinkled texture. Unlike other washed-rind cheeses, Langres is not turned during ageing, which creates its characteristic concave top - often used to hold a splash of Champagne or Marc de Bourgogne for an extra indulgent experience.
Langres offers a mild yet complex flavour, starting with buttery and milky notes, followed by a delicate earthiness and subtle tang. As it matures, it develops a deeper, more pungent aroma, while the interior remains smooth, meltingly soft, and decadently creamy.
Perfect for a luxury cheeseboard, Langres pairs wonderfully with Champagne, Crémant, or a rich Burgundy white, as well as crusty bread, honey, or fresh fruit. Serve it at room temperature to fully appreciate its indulgent, velvety texture and balanced flavour.
