Description
Les Frères Marchand Cantal Entre-Deux is one of France’s oldest and most traditional cheeses — a proud emblem of the Auvergne region, made from cow’s milk and matured to perfection.
About the Cheese
Cantal holds AOP (Appellation d’Origine Protégée) status, guaranteeing that it is produced in the mountainous pastures of Auvergne using time-honoured methods. The “Entre-Deux” style — meaning “in between” — refers to its maturation period of 3 to 7 months, which gives it a perfect balance between the freshness of young Cantal and the depth of aged Cantal Vieux.
