Chaumes

cow's milk cheese from Saint-Antoine-de-Breuilh in the Périgord (South West of France),[1] made by traditional cheese-making processes. Translated literally, "chaumes" is French for stubble.[2]

Based upon traditional

color. The rind appears after several washings of the crust, along with brushing with some ferments.

Maturation of the Chaumes takes four weeks. It is used as a table cheese and also for grilling. It is also available in limited markets around France as a spreadable cream cheese, "Chaumes la Crème".
