Named after the Cantal Mountains in Auvergne this cheese has been dear
to the French throughout history. For example, in medieval times it was
the courtly custom to send a gift of cheese to impress or to people one
admired. Cantal is made from pasteurized cow’s milk with the curd being
heated before pressing. This AOC cheese has a smooth grayish-brown rind
with a smooth, pale yellow, close textured interior. Cantal is one of
the oldest French Cheeses, predating both Roquefort (11th Century) and
Livarot (13th Century). In fact, Pliny the Elder mentions Cantal in his
“Historia Naturalis” written in the 1st Century AD. Cantal was
originally produced by putting the curd into “le Formage”, a wooden
cylinder, which is believed to be the origin for the French word for
cheese.
Cantal has a milky aroma, a nutty flavor with a hint of tangy
butteriness and a slightly acidic finish. Aged from 3-9 months, it is
prone to blue mold (fleur de bleu) which the French gladly eat, but can
also be cut off if this is not your preference. Try Cantal in a French
ploughman’s platter, in soups or sauces, or to flavor muffins or
gratins. But, ignore this description and take advice from a French poet
“ to elaborate on Cantal is an error of taste; it is all simplicity.”
