Cantal is a cheese originating in France, benefiting from a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO). It is a cheese made from pasteurised cow's milk, with a firm, pressed, uncooked texture, salted throughout. The word "Jeune" (young) indicates a minimum maturation period of 30 days. This cheese, selected by Le Delas, a wholesaler in Rungis, is characterised by a thin, light grey rind and an ivory-coloured paste. It has a mild, milky flavour, making it very popular for use in cooking where a delicate cheese flavour is desired.
Culinary uses:
Young Cantal PDO is suitable for a wide range of culinary uses thanks to its mildness and good melting properties:
► Hot dishes: Ideal for dishes that require good melting properties, such as Auvergne fondues, onion soups au gratin, soufflés, quiches or for stuffing vegetables.
► Cheese platters: Served as a mild and accessible option in contrast to more mature cheeses.
► Sandwiches and snacks: Perfect for making croque-monsieur or cold sandwiches.
Storage and preparation tips:
► Storage: Fresh product. Store between +4∘C and +6∘C.
► Preparation: It is recommended to open the cheese 30 minutes before consumption to appreciate all its flavours. Consume quickly after opening. When using Cantal in recipes, avoid adding salt as this cheese is already salty.
