Tronchon is a traditional, creamy, semi-soft cheese made from blended cow's, goat's and sheep's milk. It has a shape of flattened globe with deep crater. The natural rind is smooth and glossy and butter-colored. Tronchon resembles a young Caerphilly. The taste is aromatic, with a hint of the acidity of a young white wine. The origin of its shape is obscure but it is replicated today with molds. The interior is bone white and has many small holes.
