Epoisses is a cow's milk fromage from the Cote-d'Or and Burgundy regions of France from the Fromagerie Berthaut. It is superbly creamy with a very intense aroma but a sweet and subtle flavor. During the maturation period, the rind of the cheese is washed with Marc of Burgundy. It adds taste and gives it a wonderful red color. Epoisses is the name of the village in Burgundy where a community of priests developed the production of this specific cheese in the middle of the 16th century. It is now a protected cheese that is only produced in 3 counties in France. One unit in wooden box, 8.8 oz/250 gr.
