Petit Cantal AOP - 8kg apx Wheel

Petit Cantal AOP

One of the five AOP cheeses produced in the Auvergne region of France, Petit Cantal has been crafted in various forms since Roman times and is believed to be the originator of English Cheddar. The rich volcanic soil of the Auvergne mountains contributes to the fresh and distinctive flavour of the cow’s milk, resulting in a cheese with a unique character.

Petit Cantal is an uncooked, pressed curd cheese with a sharp, tangy, and grassy flavour. Its balanced profile and firm yet creamy texture make it an excellent choice for cheese boards, cooking, or pairing with robust wines.
