Livarot is considered to be one of the finest cheeses by aficionados who love its soft, golden paste with little holes and springy texture.
 
The taste is nutty, melting in the mouth, to release flavours of a salty lemon and spiciness. The texture is creamy, smooth and quite runny at room temperature. 
 
Each wheel is washed in brine, coloured in annatto and matured for up to two months in warm, humid cellars to develop the above-mentioned delicious taste.
