EpIn the first part of the XVIth century, the village of Epoisses was home to a religious community which was, according to oral tradition, the original creators of Époisses cheese. When the community left the village some two centuries later it handed on to the valley's peasant folk a valuable inheritance: the recipe.


It is thanks to the farmers that the Époisses survived the two World War and is still available on the French tables. French tables only? Pretty much as customs regulations make it very difficult to get in some countries. At least, you are now aware of the cheese, which was noticeably qualified as the "king of all cheeses" by no-one else than Brillat-Savarin, and you will hopefully put it on your list of cheeses to try when in France.

Fabrication process

As soon as it arrives in the cheese dairy, the whole milk is heated to a temperature of about 25 to 30 °C in order to be subjected to a gentle maturation. The slow lactic coagulation of the cheese lasts for 16 to 24 hours. The fragile curds are left to drain in perforated moulds, and the liquid or whey runs off freely, so that the straining is carried out naturally.

After a minimum of 48 hours and two turnings, the cheese is taken out of the moulds and salted with dry salt. It is then placed on racks in a cool, ventilated drying room.

Once dried, the cheeses are taken into cool damp cellars to mature slowly. Each cheese is then rinsed between one and three times per week in water to which increasingly higher quantities of marc de Bourgogne have been added..

During the maturing process, yeast and red fermenting agents contribute to the development of the cheese's aromas and flavours, and give it its unique orange-red colour.

Epoisses requires 5 to 6 weeks maturing with regular and attentive care. oisse

There's a lot of cheeses that are good for you and some that are not. My favorite healthy cheese is Mozzarella, and my favorite unhealthy cheeses are Cheddar, American (Low in fat), pepper jack, and a few others.
