The history of the cheese in this area began at the beginning of the 20th century with the need for agricultural restructuring after the phylloxera plague.

This cheese is made based on pasteurised cow's milk, to which fermented milk and animal rennet are added. Once it has curdled, the cheese matures in cellars for a minimum of 45 days. It is a pressed paste, uncooked cheese, cream or ivory in colour, creamy and mild. It is sold in whole pieces or in portions. The stamp of the Designation of Origin covering it is covered by must appear on the label.
