Livarot Cheese
Livarot is a French cheese of the Normandy region, originating in the commune of Livarot, and protected by an ''Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée'' (AOC) since 1975. It is a soft, pungent, washed rind cheese made from Normande cow's milk. The normal weight for a round of Livarot is 450 g, though it also comes in other weights.
