Abbaye de Tamié is a soft washed-rind cheese made in France by the monks of Tamié Abbey. The milk is unpasteurized cow's milk. Each wheel is pressed, then washed while it ripens, so the rind turns orange to reddish and smells stronger than the paste tastes. The inside is pale, smooth, and supple, with a few small openings. Buyers often meet it wrapped in paper marked with a cross.

Abbaye de Timadeuc Cheese is a mild cow's milk cheese from France, sold under that abbey name. Monks make it as a pressed cheese with a washed rind. The paste is supple and pale yellow, and it yields when you press a slice. A few small, irregular eyes may show inside an otherwise smooth body. Flavor stays lactic and lightly salty, with a nutty aroma instead of a fierce washed rind.
