Époisses A.O.C. is one of France’s most celebrated washed-rind cheeses, produced in Burgundy from raw cow’s milk and traditional animal rennet. Protected by Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée status, this iconic cheese is renowned for its striking orange rind, luxurious texture and unforgettable character.

Carefully matured and traditionally washed with Marc de Bourgogne, Époisses develops a soft, spoonable interior beneath its distinctive rind. The aroma is famously powerful, while the flavour is remarkably balanced, combining rich buttery notes with savoury depth, gentle sweetness and a complex meaty character. As it ripens, the cheese becomes increasingly creamy and indulgent, delivering a long, lingering finish.

A true masterpiece of French cheesemaking, Époisses is a standout addition to any cheeseboard and pairs beautifully with crusty bread, Burgundy wines and traditional charcuterie. Bold, rich and full of personality, it remains one of the world’s great washed-rind cheeses.
