An awful smell was detected every time I opened the fridge in the garage where I keep my beers and wine amongst the overspill from the main fridge in the kitchen.
Naturally, I told the lady of the house that something had gone rotten in there and that she should investigate.:)
And this morning the problem was solved when my daughter presented me with my Christmas gift - a collection of various items including some Epoisses cheese. The description below does not do it justice ...
QuoteEpoisses
Made in a tiny town in the Burgundy region of France, Epoisses is one of the great cheeses of the world. It is a name-controlled cheese that has a very pungent aroma and rich, creamy interior. Each cheese is covered in an edible reddish-brown coating, and underneath that a creamy, white interior with a delightfully daunting aroma that comes straight from the farm. This handcrafted cheese is first washed in brine, then cured in humid cellars for four weeks. After this brief aging period, the rind is rinsed with Marc de Bourgogne, a liqueur that is a by-product of the local wine industry. Please beware: Epoisse is so stinky that it is banned on public transportation in France, a country usually tolerant of such aromas. This aroma will prevail in the box on arrival, so don't be alarmed.
I'll let you know what it actually tastes like. :D

Haha, that's just great :roflmao:
They say that it's the thought that counts, so if the cheese itself was crap, you can at least hope there was some nice thoughts behind it :rolleyes:

Is it worse than parmesan? I hate the smell of that :P.
Much, much worse than parmesan. By a factor of about 10.
Epoisses is wonderful cheese, but the smell is so dense you could bruise your head on it if you walk too quickly towards it.
Ate some last night. Wonderful stuff. :thumb:

I raided the discounted shelf (aka Chav Bin) in Sainsbury's today and liberated a small wheel of Epoisses.
When I pull the tab, how long have I got to get clear? A cheese TK...

I noticed that Tesco sells it now too - albeit in industrial strength shrink-wrap :D
I don't think the sainsburys Epoisses I bought the other day is quite the same as described above and by Blunt here (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=9730&highlight=epoisses). It has a gentle pong but it's not nearly noticeable enough to make me wonder where the rotting thing is in the fridge. Perhaps it needs to be left to ripen for a few weeks?
btw the plastic wrapper it's sold in is in fact full of holes :D

Definately bogus. The real mccoy would empty the store if it was allowed to breathe au naturale.
