Flavour Profile
Matured for at least three months, Cantal Entre Deux is classically aged. The Cantal owes its shape and texture to double pressing: the crushing gives it its supple and melting texture.
Cantal cheese became famous thanks to its fruity flavour, though you’ll also notice the flavours and aromas of cream and butter balanced with pepper and spices.
Drink pairing
A classic cheese needs a stylish wine to match. Our choice? An elegant, summery Muscadet, AOP Drouet 2018 from the Loire Valley. It’s dry and light, so pairs perfectly with a piece of crumbly cheese.
About the producer
Produced in the pastures of Haute Auvergne with a rainy climate and difficult soils, Cantal cheese has a high milk content. In fact, 400 litres of cow’s milk are needed to produce a 40Kg piece of Cantal cheese. The milk is processed while still warm, or warmed in tanks. The cheese maker wipes it with a cloth and turns it regularly as it matures.
The methods are so well-respected the cheese has been manufactured on the same land for around 2,000 years.
How to enjoy
With a firm texture, enjoy Cantal Entre Deux with crackers, nuts, apple and grapes. We also like crumbling this pressed cheese into a soup or salad, or letting it melt into a gratin or topper for a deliciously milky strong finish to a dish.
