Product Details

Renowned as one of France’s most notable cheeses, Germain Époisses AOC is a bold, rich, and intensely creamy washed-rind cheese from Burgundy. Its distinctive moist, reddish-brown rind is achieved through regular washings in Marc de Bourgogne, a regional spirit that enhances its complex, savoury character.

With a silky, spoonable texture, Époisses delivers deep umami notes, reminiscent of roast beef, butter, and salted peanuts, balanced by a luxurious, creamy finish. The aroma is unmistakable—pungent yet enticing—making it a favourite among cheese connoisseurs.

How to Enjoy

• Pair with a full-bodied Burgundy or a bold Trappist beer to complement its intensity
• Serve with crusty bread or potatoes to soak up its velvety richness
• Let it reach room temperature before serving to fully experience its luxurious, melting texture

For those who love big, bold cheeses, Époisses AOC is an absolute must-try—a true expression of Burgundian cheesemaking tradition.
