Brebis du Lavort

Lavort is a French cheese produced in Auvergne. The cheese is made from raw sheep's milk coming from the Lacaune breed. It's shaped into a tall cylinder with a rounded top and a large depression in the center. The rind is crusty and thick, with grey, white, and yellow molds.


The texture is creamy and open, dotted with eyes, while the aromas are earthy. The flavors are nutty and mild, with hints of smoke, bacon, and hay. The cheese is available in two sizes – the small one is aged for 2 to 3 months, while the larger one is aged up to 6 months.


It's recommended to pair Lavort with a glass of dry white wine.
