Abbaye de Timadeuc

Abbaye de Timadeuc is a French cheese hailing from Brehan in the region of Brittany, where it's produced by the monks at the Abbaye Cistercienne Notre-Dame de Timadeuc. The cheese is made from pasteurized cow's milk and it's usually left to age from 2 to 3 weeks before consumption.

Underneath its washed rind, the texture is slightly soft, springy, and open with a few irregular eyes scattered throughout the paste. The flavors are generally mild and lactic. It's recommended to pair the cheese with a glass of Gamay de Touraine wine.
