About Livarot

Cheese Facts: milk: cow •  texture: soft •  production: creamery, artisanal

Livarot Livarot, while one of the most beloved cheese in France, is not for the faint at nose. The reason is its pungent, pungent smell, very earthy. So while lovers of stinky cheeses will rejoice, those who like their cheese less…aromatic, might not. That being said, once you get past the smell, Livarot is actually quite mild, with hints of pepper and spiciness throughout. It has a firm texture that tends to run as it ages, with a few small holes. The shape is round, bound with strips of raffia to hold the shape. The rind is orange in color, washed with brine and later with Calvados wine (yum!). We don't recommend this for the cheese board, as its strong smell and flavor might overpower all other cheeses. Rather, serve it at the end of a cheese course (where the cheeses come out separately, in a sequence). Or try it with a hearty, rustic bread and a nice glass of apple cider. Bring to room temperature before serving.
