Try this cheese! Époisses, the most Burgundian of cheeses, is the standout member of the wonderfully delicious washed-rind cheese family. Made from pasteurized milk, the young soft cheese is gently poured into molds and after several days it's salted and left to dry. Each round is washed in a brine solution and Marc de Bourgogne, the local spirit, turning the rind into a distinctive paprika red color. Rich, fruity, mushroomy and luscious, the paste is destined to be spooned onto a crusty baguette.
