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...

Carre de l'Est
-
For Reference Only
Carré de l'Est is a square gourmet cheese (as its name suggests). It has an orange-red, washed rind, sometimes covered with a white mould. This rind is moist and sticks to the fingers and feels elastic. The paste is very soft and unpressed.
The cheese ripens in cellars. Each cheese is turned and washed by hand to spread the colorful bacteria over the cheese. Carré de l'Est has a smoky-bacon flavor and the taste has a hint of mushrooms. With regular holes in its centre, this gourmet cheese is best when the rind has a covering of mould. Affinage takes three to four months.
Made in Lorraine, it is produced from cow's milk only. It is eaten year round and keeps 3 to 4 weeks.
In order t...

Caruchon Papillon
-
Sold out, more expected soon
Caruchon is a sheep's milk cheese from the Papillon House in Aveyron.
This gourmet artisanal cheese is made from pasteurized pure sheep's milk.
The cheese is soft and melts easily, has a light aroma that can be called pleasant. During the first weeks of maturing the rind is regularly washed with brine. Then the rind starts to develop into a natural, edible white mold, resulting in a mixed rind washed and bloomy; something you don't often see in a sheep's milk cheese. The color of the rind becomes darker with time and the taste becomes stronger with time, but not too strong.
This cheese has similarities with the Pont l’Èvêque because of its shape and the type of its rind, but at th...
