Product Details
Renowned as one of France’s most famous cheeses, Germain Époisses AOC is bold, rich, and creamy. It comes from the Burgundy region. The reddish-brown rind results from washings in Marc de Bourgogne, a local spirit. This process preserves its moist appearance and adds savory depth to the flavor. As a result, Époisses AOC is highly regarded and sought after for its distinct, powerful taste.
Inside, the cheese is equally remarkable. Its silky texture melts easily on the palate. With each bite, you’ll experience umami notes reminiscent of roast beef, butter, and salted peanuts. These flavors are balanced by a smooth, creamy finish that lingers on the tongue. The richness and complexity make this cheese a standout choice for any cheese lover.
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
- Enjoy the delicate combination of fruit jams and soft cheeses by pairing with Organic Apricot Jam
For those who love big, bold cheeses, Époisses AOC is an absolute must-try—a true expression of Burgundian cheesemaking tradition.
