Washed Rind

Washed rind cheeses are typically bathed in a wash of salted water, wine, brandy or local spirits, according to the traditions of each region. This washing helps to break down the curd from the outside, gradually becoming a part of the cheese, rather than just a skin. The washing process helps cheeses to retain moisture, and develop a powerful flavor. Through this process, the cheese becomes soft, thick and brilliant often reddish or yellowish. Washed rinds cheeses typically present a paradox, in that their colorful, often pungent rinds contrast with beautifully smooth and creamy interior.

We are pleased to offer our hand selected collection of Artisan washed rind cheeses.
