Itineraire des Saveurs Epoisses AOP Pasteurized Cow's Milk Cheese

Its origins date back to the 16th century. It is said to have been created by a community of Cistercian monks settled in Époisses. The manufacturing secret was then passed on to farmers in the small region, who would constantly improve the quality and typicity of their products. Consumed at the court of Louis XIV, Epoisses was a famous cheese at the end of the Ancien Régime.
