Arzyns

Arzins are a type of traditional French cheese, originating from the region of Arzens in the Languedoc-Roussillon department. They are made from the milk of cows, typically from the Limousin breed, which are raised in the nearby Camargue region. The cheese is known for its distinctive shape, which is a small, round, and slightly flattened disc, with a thin rind and a creamy, mild flavor. Arzins are often used in cooking, particularly in the preparation of sauces and stews, due to their ability to melt and blend well with other ingredients. They are typically sold in small, round wheels, often wrapped in wax paper or plastic to preserve their freshness. The cheese has a relatively short aging period, usually around 2 to 3 months, which allows it to develop a slightly tangy flavor while remaining creamy and smooth. Arzins are a popular choice for cheese boards and pair well with a variety of wines, including those from the Languedoc-Roussillon region.
