Babybel is a French brand of small snack cheeses, and the usual piece is the original Mini Babybel. That original is a semi-hard cheese made from pasteurized cow's milk, formed into a small round and sealed in red wax. A wrapper sits over the wax, and the rounds are often sold together in a net bag. The flavor is mild, smooth, and slightly tangy. It is a brand portion, not a large wheel from one region of France.
