Epoisse fermier AOP Raw Milk | 250g

Epoisses Fermier is a soft, washed-rind cow's milk cheese that originates from the Burgundy region in France. It is made using traditional methods, using unpasteurized milk from local farms, and is aged for a minimum of 4 weeks.

The cheese is characterized by its reddish-orange rind, which is washed with brine and marc de Bourgogne, a local grape brandy, during the aging process. This creates a pungent and slightly sticky rind that has a distinct earthy aroma.

The interior of Epoisses Fermier is creamy and buttery, with a slightly tangy and nutty flavor that becomes more pronounced as the cheese ages. As the cheese matures, it becomes softer and more spreadable, making it ideal for serving with bread or crackers.

Epoisses Fermier is a popular cheese in France and is often enjoyed as a dessert cheese, paired with fruit or nuts. It also pairs well with a variety of wines, including reds such as Pinot Noir and whites such as Chablis. Because of its pungent aroma and strong flavor, it is not recommended for those who prefer milder cheeses.
