Le Maréchal
Le Maréchal is an artisanal French cheese hailing from Vaud in Switzerland, where it's produced by the Rapin family. The cheese is made from raw cow's milk and it's aged for a minimum of 130 days. Underneath its herb-rubbed edible rind, the texture is dense and creamy.
The aromas are buttery, herbaceous, and barnyardy, while the flavors are intense and herbaceous with notes of roasted almonds and salted caramel. The cheese also melts well, so it's often used in fondues or raclettes. It's recommended to serve Le Maréchal with olives and figs.
Pair it with a glass of Chasselas, Petit Chablais, or Riesling.
