Southeast of Belgium: Pays de Herve

Nuno drove us to a small town called Pays de Herve, where one of the DOP cheese is produced. We first went to a cheese cellar where Herve cheese is made. Unfortunately, we found it is closed. At a local tourist office, we were told that there is no visit to show the process of making cheese.
Anyway, here is the product. Washed cheese, very strong smell and taste. The surface is very very sticky.



In the view of consumer perception, I think the producer should reconsider the packaging. Little childish. It is surely not targeted to children. McDonald hamberger can be wrapped with this paper.

Paper wrapping may not be appropriate for this type of cheese for another reason. As I mentioned the surface is sticky. It should be packed with a plastic package with sufficient room to breeze! This package suits for soft white mould cheese with dried surface such as Camembert de Normandie and Brie.
