CHEESE NOTES

High-res Brebirousse d’Argental, from the Lyons regions of France, may look like a typical pink-skinned washed rind, perhaps a Taleggio or even an aggressive Bavarian Limburger, but looks are deceiving; the bright orange color comes from annatto rather than Brevibacterium Linens. Brebirousse is actually a soft-ripened bloomy rind sheep’s milk cheese, similar to a Brie although somewhat more pungent, vegetal and wooly in aroma and flavor thanks to its sheepy origins. The runny, creamy paste is buttery, sweet with a bit of brine, grassy, mushroomy and with a pleasing meatiness and tang.  Purchased at Murray’s Cheese.
