What is Roule Cheese?

Roule is a French cheese. The texture is soft and creamy, and it is usually flavoured with herbs and garlic.

The Tablanette Fromagerie made the first Roule in the 1980s, in the Centre region of France. Rian's company has produced it in the northwestern part of the country since that same decade.

Cut a piece and it has the structure of a slice of Swiss roll. The garlic and herb flavouring is what distinguishes it. About 45 percent of its calories come from fat.
