Lidl Cantal Entre-Deux cheese

Cantal is a traditional semi-hard cheese from the Auvergne region of France, protected by the Appellation d'Origine Protégée (AOP) designation. The 'Entre-Deux' variety indicates it has been aged for a specific period, typically between 3 and 7 months, resulting in a balanced, nutty flavor profile. As visible on the packaging, this specific product is produced in Villefranche-de-Lauragais (FR 31.582.001 CE) by Les Fromageries Occitanes (LFO).

The brand is a private label of Lidl, a major international discount retailer founded in Germany. While the cheese itself is strictly manufactured in France according to regional safety and quality standards, the commercial distribution and brand ownership are handled by the Schwarz Group. Lidl operates thousands of stores across Europe and the United States, utilizing local expert producers like LFO to supply authentic regional products under its own house branding.
