Fol Épi – French Semi-Hard Cow's Milk Cheese
Fol Épi – French Semi-Hard Cow's Milk Cheese
Milk: Cow
Origin: Loire Valley, France
Fol Épi is a distinctive French cow's milk cheese from the Loire Valley, instantly recognizable by the decorative wheat ear pattern pressed into its lightly toasted, flour-dusted edible rind. Its round shape and tender, supple texture make it both visually appealing and highly versatile.
The flavour is mild, nutty, and gently fruity, reminiscent of Swiss-style cheeses but with a slightly sweeter and creamier profile. Semi-hard and pressed, Fol Épi melts beautifully, making it ideal for sandwiches, grilled dishes, and warm preparations, while still shining on a cheese board.
Pairs well with:
Fresh baguette, apples, grapes, pears, roasted nuts, honey, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, light-bodied red wines.
