Flavor:
Mild, buttery.
Story:
It is a French double-cream soft cheese made from cow’s milk. It is produced by the Fromagerie Guilloteau company. Fromager d’Affinois is similar to Brie in production, appearance, and flavour. Unlike in Brie production, however, before cheese making the cow’s milk undergoes a process called ultrafiltration. Ultrafiltration removes water from the pasteurised milk, concentrating all other components. One effect of this process is that it allows the acceleration of the cheese making process. Whereas classic Brie takes eight weeks to make, Fromager d’Affinois can be made in two weeks. Ultrafiltration also results in a milk that retains more nutrients and proteins, and the cheese has a relatively high fat content of 60%.

Recommended Pairings:
Pair it with crusty artisan bread or with fruit. If you have it with bread, enjoy it with a red zinfandel or Beaujolais. If you serve it with fruit, a sauvignon blanc, viognier or chardonnay – light on the oak – will complement it well. For that matter, it pairs well with almost any white wine, dry or sparkling.
