Maroilles
Typical of Northern France, this washed-rind cheese has become emblematic of products with character.
Another cheese of monastic origin, whose history goes back to the 7th century to the Abbey of Saint-Humbert de Maroilles. This cheese benefits from a PDO label which, as is often the case with this type of label, encompasses a wide range of products of very different quality.
Typical of Northern France, this washed-rind cheese has become emblematic of products with character, and is distinguished essentially by its finesse, even in the rare farmhouse productions we’ve chosen.
A handsome square reminiscent of the brick houses of its native region, it also has the same color, even if it sometimes leans towards browner tones. It is also oily and ridged, and develops a powerful musky fragrance. Underneath this tanned leather, a light-colored paste punctuated by small openings blossoms. A lactic cheese, its chalky core fades over time, giving way to a creamy texture. Although the tasting is reminiscent of virile notes of leather and maceration, the lactic touches largely temper the latter, offering a fine balance.
