Pave du Nord Affine *HALF POUND*

Pave du Nord Affine, Half Pound

A raw cow's milk cheese from the north of France with a texture that runs hard, crisp and flaky. It has a lot in common with the aged Goudas of Holland and with its fellow countryman Mimolette, and it is a cheese for people who like to hear the knife.

Why you'll love it

• Hard and flaky — crisp enough to shatter, which is the point of a cheese like this.
• Raw cow's milk — unpasteurized milk, aged to concentrate the flavor and dry the paste.
• In the Gouda family — similar in style to the aged Goudas of Holland.
• Mimolette kin — a close relative of the orange French classic, without the color.
• From the north of France — affiné is French for matured, and this one has been.

How to enjoy Break it into shards for a board, shave it over a salad, or eat it with a slice of apple and a beer. An amber ale or a dry cider is better here than wine.

A flaky, savory cheese for the corner of the board that usually goes to the cheddar.
