Gourmet Foodstore offers the Epoisses Berthaut cheese that notably fuses brandy, specifically Marc of Burgundy. The soft milk cheese is from Cote-d'Or and France's Burgundy regions as a celebration of the area. The cheese is soft on the inside and carefully coated with a captivating orange rind, which is provided by the Marc de Bourgogne.
The flavor palette is subtle and the cheese is recommended to be refrigerated. Some of the ingredients include full cream pasteurized cow's milk, rennet, lactic and ripening ferments, salt, calcium chloride, and more. Although the palette is subtle, the creamy cheese delivers and intense aroma and creamy texture due to the milky ingredients with a sweet finish.
