Le Petit Doruvael

Don’t let the fancy name fool you: this is a true Dutch regional product from Montfoort. It’s a washed-rind cheese, recognizable by its orange-red, slightly moist exterior. The texture is wonderfully soft and creamy. The aroma is distinctive and aromatic, but the flavor is surprisingly mild and smooth, far more approachable than many of its pungent French counterparts. The rind gives the cheese its character, and you eat it right along with the rest.
