Cantal is a hard cheese from the Auvergne region, in France. It is a cheese based on cow's milk and is made according to traditional methods, which go back to Antiquity. Cantal is characterized by its pale yellow dough and its smooth and dry crust. Its flavor is soft and slightly salty, with notes of hazelnut and curd milk. Cantal ages well and can be kept for several months, which gives it a firmer texture and a more pronounced flavor over time.
