One of the oldest of the French cheeses, Cantal was reportedly enjoyed over 2000 years ago in ancient Rome. This AOC cheese named for the mountains of the Auvergne region is often referred to as the "French Cheddar", though recipes for Cantal and Cheddar are very different, and so are the resulting textures. When young, it has a mild, buttery flavor that, over time, develops into a pleasant bite. This Cantalet Dore is a smaller version of a Cantal wheel.
