Cantal AOC – French Pressed Cow's Milk Cheese

Milk: Cow

Origin: France (Auvergne)

Designation: AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée)

Cantal AOC is one of France's oldest cheeses, originating in the Auvergne region and dating back over 2,000 years to Roman times. Made from cow's milk and traditionally pressed and aged, Cantal offers a rustic, authentic flavour that evolves with age—from fresh and milky when young to firm, complex, and slightly spicy when mature.

Protected by AOC status, true Cantal must be produced in the Cantal mountains following strict traditional methods, preserving its historic character and terroir. Available in three aging styles: Cantal Jeune (1–2 months) – mild and creamy; Cantal Entre-Deux (3–7 months) – balanced and nutty; Cantal Vieux (8+ months) – bold, sharp, and complex.

Pairs well with:

Apples, pears, walnuts, crusty bread, gratins, aligot, omelettes, salads, dry cider, farmhouse ales, Beaujolais, Côtes d'Auvergne, light Bordeaux.
