A speciality of our region, recognised as an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée, Langres cheese is made according to old traditional recipes. It has an orange-yellow rind and a light yellow paste, with a moderate flavour that develops with age. The top of the cheese has a hollow called a "fontaine". This feature, which can be likened to the shape of the ramparts surrounding the town of Langres, gives it its characteristic appearance.
