Cheese Details

Back to list

	Langres As the name suggests, this artisanal cheese originates from the high plains of Langres in the department of Champagne. It has been soaked in Champagne or Marc de Champagne and will typically be served with fresh wine poured into the central well. With a thin, bright orange rind that is wet and sticky, the cheese has a very pronounced smell similar to but less pungent than that of Epoisses. The pate is firm and supple and is quite salty, with complex aromas reminiscent of lemons and farmyard. Hints of bacon also emerge. Serve this as part of a cheeseboard or alone with desert prunes and almonds.
	Price per cheese £4.25

Champagne and Ile-de-France
Geographically, this is quite a small region, however in cheese terms it is of real significance, being home to the authentic fermier Bries. Ile-de-France has become industrialised and is now home to many workers who commute into Paris for work. There is little space for grazing cows, what little agricultural land there is has usually fallen prey to corn or sugar beet. Hence very little “true” Brie is made here anymore, most is factory made in Lorraine.
