Just a quick aside... Tasted my first Époisses de Bourgogne today. There is a new Cheese vendor in the market today and WOW! what an amazing taste. Seeing as it really reeks I probably will not get to make one. There an up side however... I was wondering whether the smell of my cheese was anywhere near those of AOC names and was very encouraged that although the taste is slightly different - the texture and smell was spot on and I now have to work on the dimensions and the taste will come. If you are reading this and you have never made one of these little smelly treasures, then I would recommend you try as it has added an amazing facet to my Cheese tastes and adventures..
