Aged for a minimum of 6 weeks, Livarot Graindorge AOP develops a sticky, golden-orange rind, achieved through repeated washings that encourage the growth of Brevibacterium linens, the bacteria responsible for its signature pungent aroma and rich umami depth. The flavour is buttery and earthy, with notes of smoked meat, hay, and a slight peppery kick. Inside, the texture is smooth, supple, and creamy, making it a perfect addition to any cheeseboard.
Known as 'The Colonel' due to its five raffia bands, Livarot Graindorge is a must-try for washed-rind cheese lovers. It pairs wonderfully with dry Normandy cider, full-bodied reds like Châteauneuf-du-Pape, or a splash of Calvados brandy. Serve it at room temperature, alongside fresh baguette, spiced chutney, and cured meats, for an indulgent tasting experience.
At Cheesemongery.com, we source only the best Livarot AOP, ensuring exceptional quality and full traceability from Normandy’s most respected producers. Order Livarot Graindorge today and savour the rich traditions of this iconic cheese.
