A farmhouse French cheese from the Burgundy region, made with cow's milk and known for its soft, creamy texture. It has a distinct pungent, sweet flavor, resulting from washing with brine and Marc de Bourgogne, a local alcohol, which gives it a beautiful orange rind.
In 1956, Robert and Simone Berthaut revived the farm production and restored the Epoises to its former glory. Jean Berthaut has perpetuated the family tradition by preserving the values of his parents. In love with the Epoises terroir, he seeks to preserve the same maturation conditions and the same quality of wholesomeness brought to the cheeses.
