Information

Pregnancy is an important period for the health of the mother and the child. A balanced and healthy diet is essential to ensure the good development of the baby. Although the Tarn square is a popular and tasty French cheese, it is important to consume it in moderation during pregnancy. The Tarn square is an unsuccessful pressed cheese, made from raw cow's milk. It is normally refined for 12 to 16 weeks, which allows it to form a golden crust and to acquire a firm texture and a rich and creamy flavor. Unfortunately, raw milk is considered a possible source of dangerous bacteria for pregnant women. It is therefore advisable not to consume unclear pressed cheeses, such as the Tarn square, during pregnancy. If you really want to eat Tarn square, you can heat it to a safe internal temperature, then consume it. In conclusion, the Tarn square is a delicious French cheese, but it is preferable to consume it in moderation and heat it to a safe internal temperature if you eat it during pregnancy.
