9/10
Washed-rind cow's milk cheese from Alsace-Lorraine. It gives off a scent described as barnyard, sour milk, fermented, meaty, with a taste that’s salty, tangy, pungent, creamy, and a texture that's orange sticky rind, soft ivory paste, moist. It’s often enjoyed served with cumin seeds, potatoes, paired with gewürztraminer.
