Pyrénée Noir
Also know as Tomme des Pyrénées, this is a visually striking cheese, covered in a black plasticky wax. The very pale yellow, almost white, pate is soft, flexible and oily looking.
Pyrenee Noir
It has a sweet buttermilk smell, a soft bite with a pleasing texture. The flavour is, as expected, delicate, milky and sweet. Typically cheesy, but not strong.
This is the sort of cheese that would be suitable for children and those who don’t like strong cheeses and would normally choose Edam or Port Salut.
Unexciting for the hardened cheese buff, but pleasant and inoffensive.
Purchased from the cheese stall outside Brighton Station
