Otros Datos
Originally cylindrical, it takes on an irregular, cake-like shape during ripening. Its velvety rind has an ash-gray color with bluish-gray tones speckled with white and orange mold. These molds grow naturally, giving the cheese its characteristic complexity.
Notas
When cut, the paste is soft, ivory-white, and has a few irregularly distributed eyes. It has a medium-intensity aroma, slightly acidic with notes of butter and mold. On the palate, its complexity develops vegetal (mushrooms, cabbage, nuts), animal (meat), and earthy notes.
