Traces of a “sanglier”?

Under the bark of spruce trunks is where the sanglier’s raw material can be found. But not the animal (sanglier means wild boar in French)! The Sanglier is the less-wary artisan who bears the same name. From the inner bark, the Sanglier creates “Sangles”, long straps that are used to wrap a certain cheese: the Vacherin Mont d’Or (a cheese with a protection designation of origin). It is these “sangles” that will give the cheese its characteristic woody flavour.
