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.
