WHAT IT TASTES LIKE: Pungent orange rind, strong buttery paste with notes of grass and straw.
WHERE IT COMES FROM: Fromagerie Gaugry, near Dijon, is the last dairy in France still producing traditional raw milk Epoisses. The cheese has a long history, being made for centuries by Cistercian monks in Burgundy monasteries. A washed-rind cheese with a definite funky aroma, this Epoisses is brushed with brine and Marc de Bourgogne brandy to produce a sticky and fruity rind.
