Pyramide Valencay Aged
Posted on Wednesday, November 18th, 2009 at 9:28 pm
This cheese from the region of “Berry” was originally shaped like a perfect pyramid. On his return from the disastrous campaign of Egypt, Napoleon stopped at the castle of Valencay and seeing the cheese that reminded him of the Egyptian pyramids, drew his sword and chopped off the top. When making a Valencay, the drained curd is cast in a mold. When removed, it is covered with salted charcoal ashes, and ripened in a well-ventilated room at 80% humidity. Pairs well with a “Sancerre” white wine.
