Trou du cru (mini epoisses) – 60g
$53
Effectively a tiny version of Epoisses, this delicious little nugget is made in the Côte d’Or region of France.
After production, and once it is in the maturing “caves,” Trou du Cru is wiped with Marc de Bourgogne, a strong type of eau de vie alcohol, which is what produces the deliciously sticky rind and seductively luscious interior. The cheeses are aged on straw to allow them to breathe and prevent them from sticking to a flat surface, and there they also pick up a sweet smell of straw and hay.
Like many cheeses in the washed rind category, the aroma of Trou de Cru is much stronger than its flavor. As mentioned, cheeses take on a delicate taste of straw and alcohol, overlaid with savory floral notes and a lengthy finish that melts in the mouth.
The paste or interior of the cheese is ivory-yellow in color, very smooth and creamy and evenly balanced throughout the cheese.

Valencay – 220g
$145Valençay cheese is one of the classic French cheeses made in the province of Berry in central France. It is named after the town of Valençay in the Indre department, France.
This cheese comes in two types: the one coated with wood ash and produced on farms is called Valençay Fermier while the other coated with vegetable ash and made in dairies or industries is called Valençay Laitier.
Valençay is an unpasteurised goats-milk cheese. Its rind has a rustic blue-grey colour which is made of the natural moulds. The rind is then darkened by dusting charcoal powder. It is available usually between March and December, with peak manufacture between April and August.
Valençay cheese used to have a shape of a perfect pyramid with a pointed top. But when Napoleon returned to the castle of Valencay after his unsuccessful expedition in Egypt, he saw the cheese, in a fit of rage drew his sword and cut off the top of the cheese. Since then the cheese has always been made with a flattened top.
