What is cancoillotte?

Cancoillotte is an emblematic cheese from the Franche-Comté region of France. It has a melted, fluid texture and a subtle taste that comes through when eaten hot or with a hot dish. Not strong on taste or mouthfeel, but tasty, you need to see it with a good smoked sausage and sautéed potatoes to understand what a culinary festival this cheese is.
