With its unique, distinctive flavour, Epoisses is made from whole milk from PDO-approved farms that meet specific specifications. Cows of local breeds (Brune, Montbéliarde or French Simmental), fed on fodder exclusively from the PDO area, without GMOs, provide protein-rich milk.
The cheese is regularly washed by hand during the 4-week maturing period, using water enriched with Burgundy marc.
The rind is a natural colour, varying from ivory-orange to brick-red, depending on the stage of ripening.
The smell is penetrating, with aromas of undergrowth.
On the palate, the cheese is soft and melting. The taste is subtle, straightforward and well-balanced, leaving a delicious creamy sensation on the palate.
Strength and elegance come together.
