Langres PDO 180g FROMAGERIE SCHERTENLEIB

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 Langres PDO cheese perpetuates a tradition and is a guarantee of quality. Selected by Le Delas for its consistent flavours and artisanal origins, this soft, washed-rind cheese is a staple of the Champagne region. Le Delas chose it for the quality of its thermised milk production, which gives it a rich and complex sensory profile typical of traditional production methods. Certified AOP, this cheese is distinguished by its unique morphology: unlike other cheese specialities, it is never turned during ripening. This process causes the appearance of the "fountain", the characteristic hollow at its top that makes it famous. Its white, supple paste reveals a melt-in-the-mouth texture that is particularly creamy. On the palate, it expresses subtle flavours from the meadows, carried by a powerful and assertive 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 and a spectacle that guests will appreciate before it is cut. ► Cheese platter: The centrepiece of a selection of local cheeses, 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, bringing a unique aromatic power to your creations. ► Serving suggestions: To restore the cheese's softness and meltability, it is essential to remove it from 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 and texture, it is essential to keep it in its original packaging. Location in store: Atelier BOF
