Baguette laonnaise

Baguette Laonnaise is a French cheese originating from the town of Laon. This semi-soft cheese is made from pasteurized cow's milk, either at creameries or industrially. Underneath its washed rind, the texture is supple and open. The cheese is shaped into a brick or a baguette, and it's usually left to age for 3 to 4 months.

The aromas are pungent, while the flavor is spicy and similar to Maroilles, and as it ages, it becomes sharper. It's recommended to pair Baguette Laonnaise with a glass of Riesling on the side.
