The cheese has a floral aroma, with a shiny and slightly wrinkled rind. The color of Epoisses cheese varies from ivory with orange hints to brick red. The cheese itself is pale beige in colour, with a smooth and creamy texture. The heart of the cheese may be slightly crumbly when still young, gradually becoming creamier as it matures.
This washed rind soft cheese has been produced in France for centuries. It is a truly characterful cheese, with its roots in Burgundy. Cistercian monks based in Epoisses originally shared their knowledge of how to make this cheese with local women, who passed it on from mother to daughter.

Fourth generation cheesemaker Javier and his wife make this teardrop shaped cheese in their home in Lugo, Galicia, which also doubles as a cheese plant. It’s a tiny operation with only 4 employes, and the care with which this award-winning cheese is made shows. Javier waits until the end of the process to smoke the cheese with birch wood for up to 90 minutes. It develops a lovely caramel colored exterior, a golden interior with tiny eyes and a subtle smoked flavor. Javier says the aroma reminds his customers of a time gone by, when their food was cooked over a wood-fired flame. We couldn’t agree more.
