Pyramide de Valençay AOP with raw milk - 220g

Discover this distinctive cheese, crafted using traditional methods with raw, whole milk from local producers. After unmolding, it receives a thin layer of wood ash and a light salting, which enhances its aromatic profile. Its light gray rind with bluish highlights encases a delicate and creamy paste, rich in 22% fat. Enjoyable from day 11 to appreciate its melting texture, it gains complexity with age, gradually developing more pronounced notes and a slightly crumbly structure.

Delve into the fascinating history of this iconic cheese, whose truncated shape conceals a remarkable anecdote: it was Talleyrand who supposedly had its original tip shortened to spare Napoleon a souvenir of his Egyptian misfortunes. The product of ancestral know-how rooted in Berry, this Valençay Pyramid cheese benefits from a protected designation of origin covering the Indre department and the adjacent communes of Cher, Indre-et-Loire, and Loir-et-Cher. A cheese steeped in history, an authentic expression of French terroir.
