#22 Fromage Des Clarines

Fromage Des Clarines is a brie style, cow's milk cheese made in the Franche-Comte region of France bordering Switzerland. It's a cheese I've spied on many a shopping trip to the Vic Market but have overlooked till today.

This cheese was fell upon by a mob of unruly public servants and devoured within minutes (on thinly sliced baguette as is appropriate). Luckily, I was able to fight through the throng gathering only minor injuries to get a taste myself.

Under the soft velvety rind, Fromage Des Clarines had a pungent oozy inner with flavour of buttery mushroom. You could eat this with a spoon, on your own, in a dark room, and the world would be a better place.

Unfortunately I ate it in a bright room, at work, with some very nice colleagues and as a result the world is only a slightly better place, and, I was left wanting more.

It comes in a round box - that's class that is.







Is cheese is good
