With a distinct, truncated-pyramid shape, our cave-aged Valençay cheese is defined by its dense, minerally paste encased in a thin, bloomy white rind. Legend has it that this cheese got its unique shape after Napoleon demanded the pointed tops be removed after his military failings in Egypt. Today, it arrives fresh from the Loire Valley, made from pasteurized goat’s milk, before its coated in a layer of salted charcoal ash and aged by Murray’s affineurs. Slice up and serve on an Effie’s Homemade Oatcake with a dollop of Black Cherry Confit for a sweet, savory bite.
“This classic wrinkly pyramid is a serious eye-catcher, making it perfect for adding a touch of luxe texture to your next cheese board. It's creamy, lactic, and super velvety, which means that it's a natural pairing for bright fruit jams, honey, and sparkling wine. Serve up a wedge of Valençay on a rustic Raincoast crisp cracker with a rich Amarena cherry and drizzle of cherry syrup.”
