Werner and Jeanne Schertenleib, who came from Switzerland, took over the Saulxures cheese dairy in 1950 and at that time produced Emmental and Munster cheeses. Today, it is the last independent, family-run cheese dairy to produce washed-rind cheeses using traditional methods. This cheese is an AOP product, which is a guarantee of quality. Selected by Le Delas for its consistent flavours, this Langres Champenois PDO is a characterful soft cheese with a washed rind. Le Delas chose it for the quality of its artisanal production using thermised milk, which gives it a rich sensory profile. Its distinctive feature is its shape: unlike other specialities, it is never turned during ripening, which causes the appearance of the "fountain", the characteristic hollow at its top. Its white, supple paste reveals a melt-in-the-mouth, creamy texture. On the palate, it expresses subtle flavours from the meadows, carried by a powerful bouquet that will appeal to lovers of strong cheeses such as Époisses or Munster. Culinary uses, preparation and storage This cheese has many uses, allowing restaurateurs to offer an interactive and refined tasting experience. ► Serving ritual: The tradition is to use the "fountain" to pour in a little Champagne marc or local white wine. The alcohol slowly permeates the heart of the cheese, creating a complex aromatic harmony before cutting. ► Cheese platter: The centrepiece of a regional platter, it pairs perfectly with crusty sourdough bread or dried fruit bread, which highlights its creaminess. ► Gourmet cuisine: Its even melting makes it an excellent ingredient for binding a risotto with character or for gratinating regional dishes, adding a unique aromatic power. ► Serving suggestions: To restore the cheese's softness and melt-in-the-mouth texture, it is essential to take it out of the refrigerator about 45 minutes before serving. ► Storage: Must be stored between +4°C and +8°C. To preserve the balance of its surface flora, keep it in its original packaging. Location in store: Atelier BOF
