Valdeon Cheese

Underneath the sycamore leaves (or, in the case of FDA-regulated Valdeon foil printed with pictures of leaves), this bold mixed milk cheese is fudgy and not for the faint of heart. Valdeon is kind of a big deal. He has many leatherbound books.

The Story

Valdeon was at one time, until recently, wrapped in Sycamore leaves. The leaves were at once protective of the rind and imparted an earthy note that despite the departure from tradition can still be found in the foil-wrapped versions found at cheese counters today.

Valdeon can often be one of the stronger wheels in the cheese case. But younger wheels are often nuanced and nutty with a lovely creamy texture. The characteristic earthiness and strong finish of Valdeon were at one time attributable to the sycamore leaves concealing a natural rind.
