Cantal cheese, one of France's oldest cheeses, hails from the mountainous Auvergne region. Made from cow’s milk, it comes in two varieties: young Cantal (Cantal jeune) with a firm, creamy texture and sharp flavor, and mature Cantal (Cantal vieux), which is harder and nuttier. Rich in protein and calcium, it promotes bone health and muscle function. However, like many cheeses, it is high in saturated fats and sodium, making moderation key for heart health. Its bold taste makes it a popular addition to French cuisine, enhancing dishes like gratins and soups. Crafted through meticulous pressing and maturation, this cheese reflects the rich dairy traditions of its origin.
