Product Description
Made in a tiny town in the Burgundy region of France, Epoisses is one of the great cheeses of the world. It is a name-controlled cheese that has a very pungent aroma and rich, creamy interior. Each cheese is covered in an edible reddish-brown coating, and underneath that, a creamy, white interior with a delightfully daunting aroma that comes straight from the farm. This handcrafted cheese is first washed in brine, then cured in humid cellars for four weeks. After this brief aging period, the rind is rinsed with Marc de Bourgogne, a liqueur that is a by-product of the local wine industry. Please beware: Epoisses is so stinky that it is banned on public transportation in France, a country usually tolerant of such aromas. This aroma will prevail in the box on arrival, so don't be alarmed. - Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

 Scrumptious Cheese September 4, 2006

My husband and I bought this in a little cheese shop in Bath, England, and fell in love with it's unique taste. We have only been able to find it on the internet in the States. This cheese, along with some gourmet crackers and fruit, is a scrumptious and romantic meal. Bon Appetite!

what a great way to spend time with friends - along with a fine bottle of wine, some bread and fruit; heck, this can be a meal in and of itself!! this cheese is soft with a nutty fragrance and "buttery" flavor - for me, it is best served at room temperature. Not quite as strong as Pont le Veque nor as mild as a Brie or Camembert which, if you like either of the two, this cheese will suit your pallet superbly.
