Looks like a harbison that isn’t quite ripe enough

It’s known as a écorce de sapin (sometimes the word formage is added) the bark wrapping is a dead giveaway. Yup the stuff around the perimeter is inner bark I think it’s from fir or pine I can’t recall which at the moment is traditional.
It’s an eastern French style of soft cows milk cheese originally from the Franche – Comté region.
It’s delicious and earthy by the by thanks to the wrapping.

We call it Vacherin in France, like the Mont D’or.
It’s different from Vacherin Fribourgeois, the swiss one.

It is a similar format to Harbison, but it is a little too yellow in color. Might be Winnimere or even Rush Creek Reserve, but usually the rind is a little taller compared to the bark wrap on both of those. Where was this picture taken? All those cheeses are domestic to the US, so if this pic was taken elsewhere I would guess one of the french cheeses mentioned is more likely.

Look like Edel de clairon or Vacherin mont d’or

What city/country is this picture taken? There are lots of different versions of cheeses wrapped in bark. The location might help narrow it down

To hell with that, what is the orange one with the crazy swirl

Harbison most likely. They’re are a couple other cheeses wrapped in bark but they’re harder to find.

They all appear to be French cheeses. Guesses just on appearance starting from the orange one moving clockwise 1 curé nantais 2 brie mont d’or / brie d’abondance 3 rocamadour. 4 raclette 5 ousau-iraty. And off in the bottom right corner a package for buerre bordier.

It looks like le claousou! Absolutely incredible creamy sheep’s cheese. Nutty, can be a bit smoky (but not in a smoked way), just from the bark.
The shape is very distinct, while I’ve never had harbinson, those look like a circle not that oval shape…
Could also be Rush Creek Reserve from Uplands. It looks more textured on the top than a Harbison

it would be very good on my plate.

Its browner rind on the edges makes me think of maybe an Écorcé, from the Chartreuse mountains, France. It’s is a soft cheese, held in place by a spruce strap, hence the darker color – and wonderful woody notes.

If it’s wrapped in birch bark it’s likely something like a French Vacherin Vadois or a copycat variety from another part of the world.

I found out what it was!
It’s called Claousou, it’s a sheep’s cheese from the region of the Cevennes in France. It’s one of the best cheese I’ve ever had, and I just couldn’t remember for the life of me what its name was. I highly recommend anyone to try it.
If anyone is curious, yes this cheese platter was in France, Brittany. All the cheeses were bought from Maison Bordier, primarly known for their incredible butter but started off as a fromagerie.

Maybe smoked brie?
