French Cheese Fougerus 8.8 oz.

Fougerus - small - cow's milk sharp soft cheese - 8.8 oz/250 gr, France.

From the family of Brie cheeses, this one is most closely related to a Coulommiers, although slightly larger and aged with a fern leaf. Its origins are artisan based having been made directly on farms for single-family consumption. The fern was used both for decoration and to impart a woodsy, earthy scent to the cheese. The cheese is now produced on a much larger scale. Thicker than a Brie de Nangis, it tends to ripen slowly, often with a section of the interior left firm. The flavor is sweet and milky, typical of Brie but with more depth. Forest scents come throu... more »

French Goat Cheese Pointe de Bique Fresh 8.8 oz.

Pointe de Bique - fresh goat's milk cheese - 8.8 oz/250 gr, France.

As a version of Pouligny-St.-Pierre, this tall pyramid of fresh goat cheese stands up to its predecessor admirably. When young it is yeasty, tangy with a fudgy, soft paste.

For the full effect, we recommend ripening these little treasures until they develop a rind. Once this rind is established, the alchemy will ensue. At its best, the cheese will have a silky, smooth layer under the rind with the smooth, dense paste making up the interior.

The flavor expands into earthier goat cheese aromas, with a slightly pungent tang at the finish.
