Le Lacandou

Le Lacandou is a French cheese originating from the northern part of the Aveyron region. It's named after its producer, the farmer Monsieur Lacan. The cheese is made from raw sheep's milk and it's left to age for 3 weeks before consumption.

Underneath its naturally moldy rind, the texture is creamy, yielding, oozing, and soft. The aromas are grassy, while the flavors are fruity, neither too mild nor too strong. The cheese is usually sold in waxed paper wrapper.
