Epoisses de Bourgogne is by far my favorite cheese. It’s runny, it’s funky and it has tasting notes of mushrooms, garlic, and barnyard.
It’s a cows milk cheese that’s produced by Jacques Hennart in the village Epoisses, Burgundy, France, It has a washed rind, it’s rinsed in March de Bourgogne brandy, and like I said before, it’s famous for its stink. It’s so stinky in fact that is banned from the Parisian public transportation system..
