Epoisses
Burgundy specialty cheese

---

The town of Epoisses has given its name to a soft cheese which develops a smooth reddish-orange surface after 2 or 3 months. It develops its character from a daily scrubbing with marc-de-Bourgogne brandy as it ripens, a process that inhibits mold but encourages the growth of a particular bacteria necessary for the development of its creamy interior and distinctive flavor.
