What to look for

Leaves still pliable and bonded. Dry, lifting leaves mean the cellar ran dry.

The long-aged crumbling style: pressed hard, cloth-bound, and left until the paste breaks rather than bends.

Brushed and turned in a cave, with whatever the cave grows allowed to form the rind. No two batches match.
