France Mons Boulette d'Avesnes 180g

This cheese can be enjoyed fresh or after a few months' maturing. Its crumbly texture makes it an exquisite spread, ideal for accompanying vegetable soup in winter. It can also
be enjoyed au gratin, as heat softens its strength.

The Boulette d'Avesnes comes from the time when we didn’t throw anything away, when the farmers of the Averne region salvaged the fresh obsolete Maroilles cheeses, the buttermilk and the whey to make another handmade cheese in which they added pepper, tarragon, salt and clove. Nowadays, this cheese is a full-fledged production, keeping the use of the fresh Maroilles, which attires itself in a nice red Paprika dress, to dance in the mouth around spicy and invasive notes.

Tasting Notes: It has a paprika colored rind, marbled with pepper and herbs. Has a Maroilles fragrance type, with some herbal and spicy notes. The taste is a mix of Maroilles and various spices (tarragon, pepper)

Pairing Suggestion: Full-bodied red wine (Gigondas - Cornas), Brown beer
