Mahogany, a unique cheese made from 100% Salers milk
Our gastronomic agitator Nicolas Rieffel set out to meet a couple of breeders who make a unique cheese from the milk of beautiful cows with a mahogany color which graze quietly in the green meadows of Cantal. techtargetmedia
Martine, Oupette, Odette, or even Odieuse ... These are the
first names of cows that have character and produce delicious milk ... of which
they only agree to give a part if their calf is with them. As in the farms of
yesteryear, they find their early morning and evening when milking.
A 100%
passion cheese
A moment of great tenderness for Nathalie and Jean-Paul
Cambon, passionate breeders who take care of their herd of Salers cows in the
heart of Auvergne. Their passion is such that they turned it into a cheese:
Acajou, a 100% Salers milk cheese, in homage to the beautiful red-brown color
of their residents.
After milking, comes the time to manufacture. The stages
follow one another, immutable: renneting, cutting, molding, pressing and
breaking of the tomme, by hand. For this step, of course, Nicolas Rieffel does
not hesitate to get involved. It takes a grip to break the curd like Nathalie
knows how to do. After 4 to 12 months of aging in the cellar, before the
Mahogany reaches the shelves of the E.Leclerc center in Aurillac.
