The family of Banon cheeses traditionally comes from the Provence area and may be made from cow's milk, vache, Goat’s milk or a combination. The cheeses are immersed in eau-de-vie then allowed to age in a chestnut leaf. This cow's milk version develops a rustic woodsy character from the leaf, and with age will become strong and soft.
