Here are the 40 favorite cheeses of the French

Good pastas, soft or hard, opaque or shiny, generous or medium, they are most often savored wholeheartedly, between pear and cheese. Besides, don’t we say that a meal without cheese leaves something unfinished, an interrupted development that lacks a part of maturity. Brillat-Savarin himself spoke of “a meal without cheese like a beauty missing an eye”. A heresy? Definitely! This is why, as adept “ferments” that we are, we invite you to a cheese “round”.

It is enough to speak of Munster, Reblochon, Epoisses, Fourme d’Ambert for this sweet poetry of the names to bring out the subtle scent. Whether they come from French, Italian, Dutch, Irish or Swiss regions, cheeses appeal to the palates of the French who consume them at least once a day. To help the most recalcitrant to refine their palate, and to awaken those of gourmet gourmands, a tour of the favorite cheeses of the French. Cheeeese!
