From a straw yellow color to an ocher orange color for the most refined, the Soumaintrain is strong in nose but sweet on the palate. It has a fine, soft texture that leaves the palate a lingering taste of hazelnuts, mushrooms and undergrowth.

Production
For its production and according to its size, the Soumaintrain requires about four liters of milk. The ripening period must last at least 21 days, during which the cheese is washed with brine every 2-3 days. It is through this process that the Soumaintrain gets this characteristic orange color.

Pairing cheese and wine

Did you know that ?
The first historical traces of the existence of the Soumaintrain date from 1631. At this time it was used to pay tithes to the Pontigny Abbey in the Yonne region. Its production was practically abandoned in the early century. For about twenty years, six producers and six dairy farmers have taken over. It is now on track to obtain the PGI.
