Affidelice
-
For Reference Only
The French gourmet cheese Affidélice is washed with the French Chablis, a prestigious white wine of Burgundy to establish a very rich, aromatic profile.
Slightly smaller than its popular sibling Epoisse, Affidélice is washed in Chablis instead of marc. This distinction gives a slightly sweet, gentler punch to the finish of Affidélice than the Epoisse.
During the maturation of Affidélice, the yellow-orange color will become stronger growing from the heart of the cheese. Near to maturity, the pigmentation will be more constant, and the flavors of Burgundy will surface. The cheese is soft and can be spooned, and Affidelice has a concentrated richness and a creamy texture.

Aisy Cendre
-
For Reference Only
The gourmet cheese Aisy Cendré has a soft paste, a washed rind that is covered in ash or 'cendré' and is made from whole cow's milk with a 50% fat content. We consider Aisy Cendré an interesting member of the washed rind gourmet cheeses with the distinction of the ash covering.
This fine French gourmet cheese is similar to the gourmet cheese Epoisse, the gourmet cheese Affidélice and the gourmet cheese Soumaintrain and is shaped into a narrow cylinder.
The ash covering of Aisy Cendré takes some of the stickiness of the rind way. The Aisy Cendré paste is soft and creamy. The heart is almost white, with the texture of plaster. Both the flavor as well as fragrance of Aisy Cendré is relat...

Azeitao
-
For Reference Only
Azeitão is a gourmet cheese made from unpasteurized sheep's milk that is produced at the foot of the Arrabida Mountains in Portugal.
Azeitão has a strong, earthy aroma. The paste is thick, soft, smooth and shiny. When the cheese is ripe it has a rich, creamy flavor with a sour-milk finish and a hint of flowers. Thistle flower is used instead of rennet. A ripe cheese will start to run at room temperature.
The older the cheese the harder and drier the paste will get and the intenser the flavor. The gourmet cheese is at its best when it is full, but still very rewarding when just over the top and flatter in form.

Cabri Ariègeois is a great gourmet goat milk cheese of the Vacherin Mont d'Or type.
Like almost all goat milk cheeses, this cheese has the best taste when it is fresh; when the tangy flavor does not come through yet.
