Chaource is a soft cow's milk cheese from the Champagne-Ardenne region of France. It is a bloomy-rind cheese, with a white coat and a tall drum shape that stands higher than a flat Brie. A young wheel keeps a chalky line through the center and a creamier layer under the rind. As it ripens, more of the paste softens and the flavor fills out. The style sits closer to Camembert than to a washed-rind cheese with an orange coat.

Langres is a soft cow's milk cheese from Champagne-Ardenne in France. It is a washed-rind cheese with a wrinkled orange surface and a pale, creamy interior. The top sinks into a shallow hollow as it ripens, because the rounds are not turned during aging. The smell is strong and savory. The taste is salty and rich, and it is usually gentler than the aroma first suggests.
