Product Description

Gaperon Cheese. A French cheese made with cow's milk that is very pale yellowish-white and has a soft texture. The cheese is blended with garlic and pepper and is allowed to cure. The result is a cheese with a robust flavor that is perfect as a snack or appetizer.

The name Gaperon comes from the word "gap" or "gape", which in the local dialect of Auvergne means buttermilk, from which the cheese is made.

The hard, dry rind of Gaperon has an elastic dough, seasoned with garlic and pepper which has a strong, spicy taste. The cheese gets its smoked flavour from being hung up on a hook above a fire to dry.
