I’m using stock images but I am always on the lookout for new cheeses to try whenever I go to the store. Credit to “Taste Atlas” for the cheese image and cheese facts. If any of you know some cheeses that I haven’t done yet I would love some input!
Here is your daily cheese facts: Fromager d’Affinois is a French soft cheese made from cow’s milk. Although d’Affinois is quite similar to Brie in flavor and visual appearance, it is actually much creamier. The cheese has an edible bloomy rind and a silky-smooth texture which is achieved by the process known as ultra-filtration – it breaks down the fat molecules so that they disperse further through the body. After about 2 weeks of ripening, its aroma is fresh and milky, while the flavor can best be described as mild, buttery, and sweet. It is recommended to serve the cheese with crusty bread or fruit. If served with bread, pair it with Beaujolais, and if served with fruit, pair it with Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay.
Also as a note: I post my daily cheese here as well as in my r/dailycheese subreddit.

My favorite! Makes an incredible sandwich when spread on a baguette with thin sliced granny smith apples and spicy stone ground mustard.

Sounds like it’s similar in flavor/texture to Saint Angel (which is very delicious!!)

Such a creamy cheese. If you like Brie but don’t like the funky flavors that are sometimes present, this is your cheese. I once ate a whole slice by myself in a particularly lonely and stoned evening. I was hurting the next day so be careful this is serious cheese.

Is this the same thing as Le Campagnier?

Love this one! And I’ve always wondered about the name— what’s the significance of “fromager,” as opposed to just “fromage”?

Did anyone try their seasonal version with roasted pumpkin seeds blended into the cheese paste? I work in a Murray’s cheese kiosk in a grocery store, and that flavor was forced out a lot on us in September and October. It sold fairly well, but I didn’t care for it. When I described it to customers, I said that it reminded me of if you could taste that scent of walking through the woods in autumn, over wet leaves that had just fallen. It was very earthy , and … let’s just say different. Not great (to me), but definitely interesting.
