Mont des Cats cheese
Trappist monks started producing Mont des Cats cheeses in 1890.[1] The cheese with a fat content of 50% is produced using cows milk from local sources. While maturing for at least two months the cheese is washed with salted water containing a dye made from annatto seeds which gives the rind its characteristic color.[2]
