Western-style sweets Cookies & baked sweets

Biscuit au Fromage is said to have been born from the wish to "make the world's best cheese baked sweet."
Made with carefully selected ingredients, it lets you enjoy the taste and aroma of cheese to the fullest.
The cheese flavor fills your mouth, followed by the sweetness of the cookie, and then a crumbly, melting texture.
It is the finest cheese cookie, unlike any you have met before.

The balance of sweet and salty is something new.
When you put it in your mouth, the aroma and taste of cheese spread first.
Next comes the cookie-like sweetness, and finally the saltiness in the dough brings everything together.

Biscuit au Fromage comes in three flavors.
Each one has a different combination of nuts and dried fruit as toppings.
Very stylish.
All three are perfect as a special treat or as a snack with drinks.

[Gouda Cheese and Cheddar Cheese] A mix of rich cheddar and mild gouda, giving the most classic cheese flavor of the three. Topped with cashew nuts and refreshingly sweet raisins.
[Camembert Cheese and Black Pepper] Pleasantly spicy. True to the choice of the more distinctive camembert, the rich flavor really comes through, and black pepper adds an extra spicy kick. Almonds that go well with pepper and the light tartness of cranberries match the camembert, making it an excellent partner for beer.
[Gorgonzola Cheese and Basil] The distinctive flavor of gorgonzola and the herbal note of basil are irresistible for blue cheese lovers. The toppings are pecan nuts and figs, another distinctive combination. An excellent partner for wine and Western spirits.

Which cheese is best for making cheese cookies?
The maker examined the taste and aroma of each cheese and uses cheeses from different origins: Hokkaido, Europe, and Australia.
The outside of the cookie is also coated with a flavorful powder.
This is cheese ground into powder in pursuit of a rich cheese flavor.
The cheese, with its moisture removed, also contributes to the cookie's crumbly texture.
It truly deserves to be called a "cheese cookie" made with uncompromising attention to detail.

LeTAO is a Hokkaido sweets brand that has long been devoted to cheese.
This taste and craftsmanship are something only LeTAO could achieve.
Because it is very delicate and fragile, it is not sold by mail order.
If you see it at a store in Hokkaido or at a Hokkaido products fair, be sure to pick some up as a souvenir.

What Japanese buyers say

The one reviewer loved the pronounced cheese flavor and says these cookies work as a snack with drinks rather than a sweet, with nuts and dried fruit adding variety. Two were already broken on arrival, so they advise care in transport as the cookies are soft.
