Époisses
Stop 142 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
- Drink
- Marc de BourgogneThe cheese is washed in it. Chablis works if the spirit is too much.
- Driving
- Strong black coffeeThe only thing robust enough not to be flattened by Epoisses.
- Eat with
- A spoon, and plain breadIt is eaten with a spoon. Anything you add to it is lost immediately.
A classic pairing — settled enough that it belongs to the region.
