Chaource

Chaource is a tall, soft cheese made from cow's milk in the Aube region in France. It is made by the process of slow draining, and the cheese must mature for at least 14 days before it can be consumed, either young, when almost no rind has formed, or mature (2-3 months).

Its flavor is salty, fruity, mild, buttery, slightly acidic, and mushroom-like. When sold, it comes wrapped in greased paper and packed in a wooden box. It's best to eat it at room temperature because it ripens from the outside in, and the inside becomes runny when the cheese gets sliced.
