Herve is a Belgian rind washed soft cheese made from cow's milk. The aging process takes place in ripening cellars of the Herve countryside, sometimes cut into its chalky rock. Herve comes from the Belgian town of the same name, which was part of the Duchy of Limburg. It has been produced since the 15th century. Other variants of pungent and soft "Limburger" cheeses are now made in many countries, using the name derived from the old Duchy. It is sometimes flavored with herbs. Herve has a pale yellow interior with a glossy reddish-brown coating created by the bacteria that grow during its 3-month aging. It is usually shaped into a brick when sold. The taste and flavor of the cheese deepens during the period of ripening. When young, the interior is sweet, and with age it becomes spicy. Because it is so strong, Herve is best eaten with dark breads and beers. It is often regarded as one of the most popular cheeses in Belgium. ==See also== *List of cheeses *Limburger cheese 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Herve cheese」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
