Livarot Père Gauthier Large (AOP/PDO) - 2kg

Aged for a minimum of 6 weeks, Livarot develops a smooth yet supple interior, surrounded by a signature sticky, orange-hued rind, the result of repeated washings with brine and annatto during the maturation process. This washing encourages the growth of bacteria that create Livarot’s characteristic pungent aroma and deep, meaty flavour. Nicknamed 'The Colonel' due to its five strips of raffia wrapped around the cheese, Livarot balances strong barnyard notes with buttery, savoury, and subtly spicy undertones, making it an unforgettable experience for cheese lovers.

Livarot Père Gauthier pairs beautifully with Normandy ciders, bold red wines like Côte du Rhône, or a traditional Calvados apple brandy. It is best enjoyed at room temperature, served with crusty bread, smoked meats, or even baked into a rustic tart for a deliciously intense flavour.
