French Cheese Sampler!

When the word cheese is mentioned, most of us immediately think of France.
We can't help it; it's a knee-jerk reaction. As excellent as are the
hundreds of cheeses that originate from all corners of the globe, France
is always the first country the comes to mind when discussing cheesemaking.
Our French Cheese Assortment captures a good bit of French cheese culture
with the four cheeses in our sampler. One is of the "stinky" variety, one is
a triple-crème, one is a chèvre, and one is a mountain cheese from the
Alps.
Buche Chevre: This classic French goat cheese is slightly aged,
giving it a lot of character. Formed in the shape of a log (Buche is
French for log), enjoy this cheese on salads, as a snack, or with fruit
for dessert.
Chaource: This decadent triple-crème is delicious at any stage of ripeness
and has a slight mushroom scent with a rich, creamy flavor.
Epoisses: This "stinky" cheese has a pungent aroma and rich, creamy
interior. Epoisses has an edible reddish-brown crust with a creamy, pale
interior. The entire cheese is bathed in a light liqueur that adds extra
flavor.
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 Comté is aged for at least six months,
resulting in a sweet and nutty masterpiece!

Cheese Accompaniments
As with classic wine and cheese pairings, traditional food accompaniments
are regional by nature. Fruit-based cheese accompaniments are the most
common, and rarely yield disappointing results. Nothing adds a deliciously
chewy texture to a French triple crème like juicy prunes. Along the same
lines, roasted figs add character to mild Greek Manouri. |

Cheese
40 recipes for cheese accompaniments, organized by milk type. These
include Fresh Ricotta with Chestnut Honey, Chestnuts, and Pears, Marinated
Pecorino with Orange Peel and Herbs. You won't find cheese-by-cheese
descriptions, for example. But it does offer a sensible survey of the
issues involved in choosing the best cheeses, domestic and foreign, for
home entertaining.
