Gaperon
Gaperon is a hard French cheese made from cow’s milk and flavorings – namely, pepper and garlic. In the past, it was hung from the kitchen beams, but nowadays it ripens in fresh air on rye straw. It also used to be made with leftovers from making butter, but that's not the case nowadays.
When aged, the cheese is characterized by its dry, hard rind and a dome-like shape. The young gaperon has a tart flavor, but as it ages, it becomes intense and spicy.
