"Le Campagnier" is a soft French cheese with a washed rind, having a sharp smell. Produced in the foothills of the French Alps, this cheese is made using a unique ultrafiltration technique that preserves the proteins, fats and minerals in the paste. This makes it naturally richer in calcium and other minerals.
Named after the French word for countryside “campagne”, Campagnier is a washed rind cheese with a deep amber colour that comes from annatto, a South American plant. Campagnier ripens with home-made lactic ferments for up to three weeks under this thin orange-tinted rind. The cheese then develops a silky smooth texture with a delicious d’Affinois flavor. Campagnier is suitable for vegetarians, naturally gluten and lactose free (lactose < 0,1g /100g).
Match with crisp apples for a simple cheese platter or dark chocolate.
