What is Cathare Cheese?
Cathare cheese comes in flat, round shapes. The top of the cheese is covered with a thin layer of charcoal powder. On this dark surface, you can see the Occitan cross drawn. This cross is a symbol from the Occitan region of France.
Inside Cathare Cheese
Underneath its dark rind, Cathare cheese is pure white. It has a soft and creamy feel, which makes it very pleasant to eat.
How Cathare Cheese Tastes
The flavor of Cathare cheese comes from goat's milk. As the cheese gets older, its goat-milk taste becomes stronger. It tastes best after it has aged for about two to three weeks.
Why is Cathare Cheese Hard to Find?
You might not find Cathare cheese in places like the United States. This is because of rules about how cheese is made and sold. Some cheeses, especially soft ones made with raw (unheated) milk, need to be aged for a certain amount of time to be safe to sell. Cathare cheese often doesn't age long enough to meet these rules in some countries.
