Langres is a cow's milk cheese,[2] cylindrical in shape, weighing about 180 g. The central pâte is soft, creamy in colour, and slightly crumbly, and is surrounded by a white Penicillium candidum rind. It is a less pungent cheese than Époisses, its local competition. It is best eaten between May and August after 5 weeks of aging, but it is also excellent March through December.
Production in 1998 was around 305 tons, a decline of 1.61% since 1996, and 2% on farms.
