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.
