Abbaye de Citeaux

Founded in 1098 by Robert de Molesmes and reformed by Saint Bernard, this Burgundian abbey produces a cheese made with Montbéliarde cattle cow's milk. Packed in a paper showing the monks motto, Ora et labora ("prayer and work"), the cîteaux' maturing is about two months in wet cellar with brine washings, one by one every day. France Gourmet (28/07)
