BLEU D’AUVERGNE

With a pungent scent, Bleu d'Auvergne has a salty and spicy taste. A perfect addition to salads or served with apple slices, Bleu d'Auvergne is also ideal on a burger. Enjoy with sweet dessert wines, strong reds, or a rich dark beer.

BRIE

Called the King of Cheeses, Brie is one of the best-known cheeses of France. Its soft, creamy texture, mellow flavor and rich aroma make it a crowd-pleaser on bread and crackers or melted in an omelet. Try Brie with light, fruity red wines or crisp whites.
