Époisses Sélection Affineur AOP

Exclusively hand washed. The Époisses Spécial Affineur AOP is made according to the traditional method. What makes this cheese special is that it is washed at least 5 times by hand, whereas the standard Époisses AOP from Germain is washed 5 times in total but only once by hand. It ripens slowly with Marc de Bourgogne for a minimum of 4 weeks. This process yields a cheese with a bold and intense taste and a rich red colour. It stands out for its creamy paste and strong earthy aroma that give rise to a delicate and refined flavour. Wine-cheese pairing: The Époisses Spécial Affineur AOP goes best with a Gevrey-Chambertin red.
