Curé Nantais

Curé Nantais or « fromage du Curé » is an uncooked pressed washed-rind cheese available in various formats. It is matured on spruce wood planks and regularly washed with salt water or, in some cases, Muscadet wine.
The name Curé Nantais is attributed to the fact that this cheese was invented by a Vendean priest during the French Revolution.
It is available in a large format designed for the cheese counter.
