Peau Rouge

Peau Rouge is a Canadian cheese hauling from Quebec, where it's produced by Les Dépendances. The cheese is made from pasteurized cow's milk and it's aged for at least one year before consumption. Underneath its washed rind, the texture is crumbly and semi-hard.

The aromas are intense, while the flavors are nutty, woody, and caramel-like. It's recommended to use Peau Rouge with pizza or pasta dishes. The name of the cheese refers to its reddish rind that develops while the cheese is aged on red pine planks.
