A thick white disc covered in a protective sycamore or vine leaf. Farmhouse made since the 19th century, the rind is wrinkled with a slight bloom, due to the high humidity in which it is initially matured. The pate is creamy and rich with a light aromatic earthy perfume. Upon further maturation the rind becomes drier and dots with blue and white moulds, and the taste, once subtle and lemony, becomes complex and more emphatic.
