{"product_id":"petit-langres-aoc","title":"Petit Langres AOC","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePetit Langres AOC is a soft, succulent, creamy washed rind cheese with a firm, dense, silky interior. Drum shaped with an indented top, known as the fontaine, which lets the brine pool in the crater and seep slowly down into the cheese. That is what gives it the richer consistency, pungent nose and fruity flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is traditional to pour a little white wine or champagne into the well of the cheese. The wheels are washed twice weekly with a mixture of brine and annatto, an orange pigment from the South American annatto shrub, which is what produces the russet rind. The cheese is usually matured for around a month to build its powerful and penetrating bouquet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt originates from the Langres plateau, near the source of the Seine in the Champagne region, on the border with Burgundy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow much to buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe individual cheese weighs approximately 180g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll cheeses are hand cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate.
