Abbaye De Citeaux 700g
Description
Abbaye de Citeaux is a monastic cheese still made within the walls of the Citeaux Abbey. The majority of the three hundred cheeses made every Monday and Tuesday are sold in the abbey shop.
Like all monastary cheeses, the rind is brine -washed , giving a pungent aroma and an ivory paste rich and smooth with fresh hazelnut earthiness. Made with milk from Monbeliarde breed - perfect for this style of cheesemaking- the result is a deeply satisfying and quite moreish cheese, perfect on a cheese board.
