PLEASE LOG YOUR "WILL ATTEND"
Third Tuesday continues for another year. New format for a new year.
Our scheduled hours are always soft, the CO will usually be early and is always happy to hang around late. Frankly when we get going we often run later than scheduled.
FOOD: Some of our venues have food, some do not, whichever case will be noted in the description near the bottom of the page.
PLEASE NOTE with your log if you do not expect to arrive until after 7:00PM, and I'll be sure to hold out for your arrival.
Époisses cheese
Époisses, also known as Époisses de Bourgogne, is a legally demarcated cheese made in the village of Époisses and its environs, in the département of Côte-d'Or, about halfway between Dijon and Auxerre, in the former duchy of Burgundy, France, from agricultural processes and resources traditionally found in that region.
Époisses is a pungent soft-paste cow's-milk cheese. Smear-ripened, "washed rind" (washed in brine and Marc de Bourgogne, the local pomace brandy), it is circular at around either 10 cm (3.9 in) or 18 cm (7.1 in) in diameter, with a distinctive soft red-orange color. It is made either from raw or pasteurized milk. It is sold in a circular wooden box and, in restaurants, is sometimes served with a spoon due to its extremely soft texture.
At the start of the sixteenth century, the village was home to a community of Cistercians at Cîteaux Abbey that, according to oral legend, began production of the cheese. Two hundred years later, when the community left, local farmers inherited the recipe, which developed over the next century. Napoleon was particularly fond of the cheese, and the famous epicure Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin classed it as the "king of all cheeses"
