Valençay Cheese is recognized by the AOC as one of France’s finest artisanal cheeses. Made using century-old traditional methods, this soft, white cheese is shaped like a truncated pyramid, inspired by Napoleon’s reaction after his Egyptian campaign when he cut off the top.Coated with a thin layer of ash to encourage mold development, Valençay is aged in a well-ventilated room at 80% humidity for three weeks. The result is a creamy, tangy cheese that showcases authentic French cheesemaking heritage
