Compact dough, white or pale yellow; when seasoned, it can have green veins.
It is made with oat’s molk, sometimes mixed with cow’s milk.
The milk is warmed up at 37° C, and mixed with rennet; after having been coagulated and broken it is left alone for one hour.
The mix is then taken, kneaden and pressed. The seasoning lasts at least two months, sometimes up to one year.
delicate flavours whren the cheese is fresh; more intense when it’s seasoned, because of the oat’s milk. Its sweet taste is more intense in the fresh moulds, while the seasoned ones are a bit hot.
