Cantal

Cantal is a French cheese made from raw cow's milk, originating in the Massif Central region. It belongs to the category of aged, hard cheeses with a firm texture and a complex, nutty flavor that develops as it matures, typically between 8 months to a year. Cantal's taste can range from mild and buttery when young to sharper and more robust when older. Its texture is dense and crumbly, making it suitable for grating or serving in slices. Cantal is appreciated for its rich, savory profile and is often enjoyed on cheese platters, with bread, or as an ingredient in cooking.
