Cheese has long been associated with French cuisine and culture. For most cheese lovers, France is the first country that comes to mind when thinking of extraordinary cheeses. While there are hundreds of cheeses, many outstanding, that originate from all corners of the globe, France is always first in any cheese lexicon.
Our French Cheese Assortment captures a good bit of French cheese culture with the four cheeses listed below.
Chevre by Couturier : This classic French goat cheese is quite fresh and spreadable. Formed in the shape of a log, enjoy this cheese on salads, as a snack, or with fruit for dessert. (4 oz.)
Camembert: This famous soft-ripened cheese from Normandy has a creamy interior beneath a fluffy (and edible) white rind. Similar to Brie, but with a slightly fuller flavor, it is distinguished in appearance by its small round shape. (8.8 oz.)
Abbaye de Belloc: This delicious raw milk sheep's cheese originates in the Pays Basque region of Aquitaine (French Pyrenees). Its milk comes from red-nosed Manech ewes raised on farms adjacent to the famed Abbaye de Notre Dame de Belloc. (8 oz.)
Gruyère de Comté : Created by local villagers in alpine dairies called 'Fruiteries', its milk comes only from Montbeliarde and Tachete de L'est cows. Each 70+ pound wheel of raw-milk Comté is aged for at least six months, resulting in a sweet and nutty masterpiece. (8 oz.)
