Short Description:
Cow's milk cheese, matured for 15 days, creamy and smooth to taste
Not all cheeses need prolonged maturing, but Chaource is a striking example.
Its smooth paste melts in the mouth like snow.
It used to be sold fresh or semi-salted, but it's only recently that we've begun to prefer it more matured, which gives it greater roundness.
As it matures, reddish streaks appear on the downy, bloomy rind, while the interior remains irrevocably white. The smell of Chaource is reminiscent of creamy mushrooms.
It was awarded AOC status in 1977. You'll be surprised to find that it's accompanied by a rosé Champagne.
Its sour taste is balanced by its relatively salty flavor. A member of the white pasta family, it can only be ripened on the outside, as its high acidity prevents it from ripening through the heart.
