Product details

Trou du Cru is a washed rind cheese produced in the Bourgogne region, originally by Robert Berthaut in the early 1980’s, as a baby version of their famous Époisses . It is washed in the local Marc de Bourgogne eau-de-vie. It possesses all the pungent delights of an Époisses, but can easily be consumed in one sitting, thus avoiding the wrath of a non-smelly-cheese-loving partner. Being smaller than a standard Époisses the rind has a greater influence over the flavour of the cheese. Make sure you pronounce the name carefully when talking to a Frenchman!
