Le Petit “Fromagerie Berthaut”

Small but unmistakably pungent, with the same sticky orange rind and silky paste as Époisses.

Le Petit from Fromagerie Berthaut is made from the same recipe as Époisses but in a much smaller 60g format. Its aroma is bold, while the flavour is creamy, savoury and surprisingly sweet on the finish.

Origin: Burgundy, France
Milk: Pasteurised cow’s milk
Style: Washed rind
Texture: Soft and velvety
Intensity: Strong aroma, medium-to-strong flavour
Rennet: Animal rennet
Format: Approximately 60g

Expect savoury, meaty and fermented aromas, followed by a smooth creamy paste and a gentle sweet finish.

Serve at room temperature with baguette, pear or a few nuts.

Red Burgundy, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Champagne or Marc de Bourgogne all work well.

Acidity and crunch work especially well with the savoury washed rind, with a little fruit for contrast.
