One of the most popular cheeses of Belgium, Fromage de Herve has been produced in the Pays de Herve region since the early 1400s. It is a soft, washed rind cheese made from raw or pasteurized cow's milk. Depending on the length of maturation, Herve comes in two varieties. Le Herve Doux is a softer, sweeter cheese, matured for no longer than 4 weeks, while the refined Le Herve Piquant is matured for at least 2 months to develop its pungent aroma and a stronger, saltier flavor.
It is best paired with wholemeal breads and rich, dark beers.
