| SELLES SUR CHER |
 Description:
This cheese, by
reputation, is extremely old. Over many generations Selles-sur-Cher has
maintained its original artisan method of production. This cheese was one of
the first to be accepted as an AOC product, in 1975. Its form is in the shape
of a thick disc with bevelled sides.
This delicious taste is reminiscent of
the gentle valleys life of the Loire and the Cher.
Texture:
The fine wood charcoal covering is
subtly tainted blue. By contrast its pate is snow white with a downy rind that
shows superficial moulding.
Taste:
The more it is aged, the
Selles-sur-Cher character becomes more pronounced and its nutty flavour is
accentuated. At the first taste the cheese is faintly heavy and elastic; this
is followed by a softening as it melts in ones mouth. |
