Cancoillotte or Cancoyotte is a French cheese made principally in Franche-Comté, but also Lorraine and Luxembourg (where it is also calle kachkéis). It is a typical cheese in Franc-comtois Gastronomy
[edit] Presentation
A cheese made from cows milk, Concoillotte is typically sold in weights averaging 200 grams. The name is attested since the 19th century, from "coille", derived from the franc-comtois verb cailler, and means milk left over after the extraction of the cream, resulting in a lower fat cheese. The cheese is typically served, melted over a small flame, with a little water or milk before salt or butter is added. Sometimes garlic is added to the mixture as well. A "good" cancoillotte is melted with lots of butter. Cancoillotte is often sold premelted in supermarkets especially in the east of France, but also around France.
