Remoudou is a soft cow's milk cheese from the Land of Herve in Belgium. It is a washed-rind cheese, usually sold in small blocks, with a moist orange-pink surface and a supple ivory paste. The name is linked to a second milking, which gave richer milk than the first draw. Regular washing during aging builds a strong smell and a spicy, savory taste. A milk wash can keep a cheese milder, while a salt wash pushes it sharper.
