Baluchon is a Canadian cheese originating from Quebec. This semi-soft cheese with a washed rind is made from raw cow's milk, and it matures for 2 months. Underneath its orange sticky rind, there is an ivory-colored paste with a creamy and smooth texture.
The aromas are buttery, herbaceous, and earthy, while the flavors are salty and slightly acidic, reminiscent of cream, hazelnut, and butter, with a slight aftertaste of clover. The name of the cheese means backpack, referring to the fact that the creators of the cheese wanted it to be a staple at every table, just like a world traveler.
