Pié d'Angloys cow milk cheese

ome cheeses are only to get hold of in France. Mostly it's cheeses made from raw milk that are difficult to transport. Pié d'Angloys is made from pasteurised cow milk but I fell in love with it from the first bite.

Decadently smelly and drippy inside it is reminiscent of a very ripe brie. As you may have guessed from the picture of a tiled roof house, it hails from Burgundy. As far as I know, it is sold in the Francophone zone only (France, Southern Belgium, Luxembourg, Western Switzerland). It seems a recent - post-WWII - invention but what it lacks in pedigree it makes good in taste.
