Its name is inspired by its shape, that of a small crustless sandwich. This lactic cheese is lightly drained before being molded into square shapes, giving it a creamy and smooth texture. After being cut diagonally and covered with ash, it is aged for about 7 days.
It is light, melting, and creamy, with soft notes of milk and goat. We can't resist it!
