Époisses de Bourgogne is an [[AOP]] [[cheese]] made in the village Époisses found in the commune of Côte-d'Or, a département of France. It is located around halfway between Dijon and Auxerre.<br />
<br />
Commonly referred to as Époisses, it is a pungent unpasteurised cows-[[milk]] [[cheese]]. A washed-rind [[cheese]] (washed in [[marc de Bourgogne]], the local [[pomace brandy]]), it is circular at around either 10cm or 18cm in diameter, with a distinctive soft red-orange colour. It is sold in a circular wooden box, and is best served with a good red Burgundy wine, or even Sauternes.<br />
<br />
Napoleon was a particular fan of the [[cheese]], and the famous epicure Brillat-Savarin himself classed it as the "king of all [[cheeses]]".<br />
<br />
Its odour is so strong that reportedly it has been banned from French public transport.<br />
<br />
One way to stop the odour permeating your fridge (and kitchen, and house) is to store the [[cheese]] in an airtight box. Whilst I imagine a purist would sniff at the idea, it's prevented arguments in our household!<br />
