Trappe Échourgnac aux Noix 300g - La Fromagerie Monastique!
This cheese, called Trappe d'Échourgnac aux Noix, is produced at the Abbey of Échourgnac (Dordogne, France) using a monastic method with pasteurised cow's milk. This uncooked pressed cheese is distinguished by its walnut liqueur ripening process (an innovation introduced by the Cistercian sisters in 1999), which gives it a powerful and highly original aroma. Delas offers this unusual cheese in its BOF Workshop, providing professionals with a unique local product that is both traditional and innovative, ideal for menus that highlight authenticity and regional flavours.
