Stop 260 of 265 · France

One cheese on the loop, with something to drink beside it, something for the driver, and the road either side.

The cheese

Chambérat

  • cow milk
  • washed
Drink
Gewurztraminer, or a Trappist aleA pungent washed rind overpowers most reds. An aromatic white or a yeasty strong ale meets it instead.
Driving
Strong dark-roast coffeeOne of the few drinks with enough presence not to be flattened.
Eat with
Dark rye, boiled potatoes and cornichonsThe pungent ones want starch to carry them and vinegar to cut them, never sweetness.

Derived from the milk and the style of the cheese, not from local custom. A local will have opinions.
