Description
Livarot is a pungent and bold cow's milk cheese - with a classic orange rind and paste - that's been produced in the town of Livarot in Normandy, France, since the 16th century, and was awarded AOC status in 1975. Despite its strong/stinky aroma, the Livarot is mildly flavored, rich and savory, with a nutty and earthy taste. Creamy and smooth, it becomes runnier and gooey as it ages. Nicknamed "the colonel" due to the "stripes" or raffia that are wrapped around it, Livarot is great as part of a cheese platter, but also great on it's own paired with fruit and nuts.
