Soumaintrain

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Soumaintrain is a type of cheese originating from the Burgundy region of France. It is a soft, washed-rind cheese made from cow's milk, and is known for its strong aroma and creamy texture.

History[edit | edit source]

The origins of Soumaintrain cheese date back to the Middle Ages, when it was first produced by monks in the Yonne department of Burgundy. The cheese was traditionally made in small quantities and was primarily consumed locally. Over time, Soumaintrain has gained popularity and is now enjoyed by cheese lovers worldwide.

Production[edit | edit source]

Soumaintrain is made from unpasteurized cow's milk, which is coagulated using animal rennet. The curd is then cut, stirred, and drained before being placed in molds. The cheese is aged for a minimum of three weeks, during which time it is regularly washed with a mixture of water and yeast. This process gives Soumaintrain its distinctive orange rind and pungent aroma.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Soumaintrain is characterized by its strong, barnyard-like aroma and creamy, slightly salty flavor. The cheese has a soft, sticky texture and a distinctive orange rind. The interior of the cheese is ivory in color and becomes more creamy and runny as it ages. Soumaintrain pairs well with robust red wines from the Burgundy region, such as Pinot noir.
