Soft Matured Cheese ~ cows milk
Trappe Echourgnac is an individual cows milk cheese matured in walnut liqueur from the and produced by nuns at the Abbaye Notre-Dame de Bonne Espérance (our Lady of Good Hope) in the Dordogne.
Previously, monks made cheese at the same site, then called the Abbaye d'Echourgnac, until war interrupted their lives in 1910. A group of Cistercian nuns took over the Abbey, changed its name, took up where the monks left off and began producing this special walnut liqueur infused cheese in 1999.
This highly unusual and special cheese has a lingering subtle walnut flavour and smooth buttery texture. The perfect gift for a cheese connoisseur!
