The gourmet cheese Aisy Cendré has a soft paste, a washed rind that is covered in ash or 'cendré' and is made from whole cow's milk with a 50% fat content. We consider Aisy Cendré an interesting member of the washed rind gourmet cheeses with the distinction of the ash covering.
This fine French gourmet cheese is similar to the gourmet cheese Epoisses, the gourmet cheese Affidélice and the gourmet cheese Soumaintrain and is shaped into a narrow cylinder.
The ash covering of Aisy Cendré takes some of the stickiness of the rind way. The Aisy Cendré paste is soft and creamy. The heart is almost white, with the texture of plaster. Both the flavor as well as fragrance of Aisy Cendré is relatively strong.
