Gaperon is a French cheese of the Auvergne region. The Gaperon has been produced for over 1200 years in Auvergne.Gaperon is a cow’s milk cheese flavored with cracked peppercorns and garlic. It has a fluffy coat and is shaped into a dome. The inside is from and ivory to a pale yellow color depending on the season. Gaperon is available all year round with no particular best season, principally because of the pepper and garlic flavoring. The flavor is tart when the cheese is young and under ripe. As it matures, it turns to a soft and buttery consistency and an intense garlic and pepper flavor.
