Semi-soft cow's milk cheese from Auvergne. It gives off a scent described as mildly pungent, earthy, lactic, with a taste that’s buttery, mild, mushroomy, tangy, and a texture that's pale yellow paste, thin natural rind, semi-soft. It’s often enjoyed melted in gratins, with potatoes or charcuterie, paired with côtes d'auvergne red.
