67 days


The epoisses is 67 days and holding up very well. This little cheese I removed from the cave at about 45 days and wrapped it in wax paper before putting it in the refrigerator. The rind is dryer than the cheeses I wrapped in saran wrap.

ok, jos, you gave me two cheeses to take away with me this weekend. i'm assuming the smaller one was an epoisses? gorgeous. hard to describe, but i loved it. ever so slightly nutty, perhaps? with a slight tingle on the tongue? eero didn't care for it, but he's six. the other was a larger one, from a larger disk - you just gave me a hunk. that was awesome. drier. i ate thick slices of it for a snack today at work, along with some dried nectarines my mother brought from california at christmas. the combination of that cheese with the dried fruit was truly heavenly. dunno what kind that is, but i love it. keep on trucking, man! thanks for sharing....
