During World War I, trucks carrying meat to the French front lines carried the logo of a
cow drawn by Benjamin Rabier. After the war, Léon Bel used a version of this cow to
adorn his boxes of cheese in a round box and called it La Vache qui rit® (The Laughing
Cow®). Today, The Laughing Cow® cheeses are sold all over the world.
So take a look and pick a favourite (if you can), there’s so much here for you to

Cheese is a food traditionally salted during its production. Even artisan cheeses add

to develop the flavour and texture of the cheese. Taste: The salt acts as a flavour
enhancer. Recipe: The Laughing Cow is creamy and delicious because of its secret
recipe that includes a variety of cheeses (Cheddar, Gouda, Edam, Emmental, Comté
…), melted and blended. Salt from these cheeses is therefore also present in the final
ingredients analysis. We only add salt to The Laughing Cow recipe very occasionally
to ensure the flavour is the same in cases the blend of cheeses used requires it.
