Le Charmoix is a plump, washed-rind, cow's milk cheese from Fromagerie Coorperative de Méan in the town of Maffe, Belgium. It is made using spring milk, is lightly pressed into its mold and is aged for between 4 and 6 weeks. As it ages, it is washed with a brine solution that helps cultivate the natural rind of B.linens molds.
When young, the cheese has a savory aroma with a clean, milky flavor with hints of nuts. When more aged, the cheese develops a more persistent aroma and the interior offers a much softer texture with balanced flavors of milk, hay and sweet onions.
