Berthaut Epoisses PDO 250g

£14.99

Product Description

Step into the heart of Burgundy with Époisses AOP by Berthaut—a velvety soft, smear-ripened cow's milk cheese with a famously powerful aroma and a luxuriously melt-in-your-mouth texture. A celebrated jewel of French cheese-making, this indulgent specialty has been lovingly crafted since its revival in the 1950s and stands among the most iconic AOP cheeses of France.

  • Pungent and indulgent: A uniquely soft-ripened cheese with a rich, creamy interior and a sticky, reddish-orange rind washed with Marc de Bourgogne. Delivers bold, lactic, meaty flavors balanced by a lusciously smooth texture. 

  • Protected origin: Made in Époisses, Burgundy, following strict AOP guidelines. Regular brine and brandy washes (up to three times weekly during 5–6 weeks of maturation) create its signature aroma and color. 

  • Revival legacy: Brought back from near-extinction in 1956 by Robert and Simone Berthaut, this cheese embodies a blend of tradition, resilience, and craftsmanship. 

Why Choose This Product?

  • Powerhouse of French cheese heritage: Often dubbed the "King of Cheeses," Époisses carries both historical weight and decadent eating pleasure. 

  • Ultimate indulgence: Its pungent aroma contrasts with a surprisingly balanced, melt-in-your-mouth interior—a thrilling experience for epicurean aficionados. 

  • Elegant presentation: Traditionally encased in a wooden box stamped with its emblem, perfect for display, gifting, or centerpiece-worthy snacking.
