#34 St Marcellin Brie

It comes in a small brown ceramic dish that would make a fine ashtray for a student household.

St Marcellin Brie French cow milk is a cow milk cheese that rose to prominence when the then King of France had to be rescued by woodcutters after a pre-Jacobite bear of ill temper refused to accept his surrender.  The woodcutters were then forced to feed the King their winter store of fine brie and thus French royalty sowed the seeds of their future destruction.

Petite in size and grande in flavour, the St Marcellin we tried was perfectly ripe and oozy. Its flavour was milky and intense with a mildly acidic aftertaste. Bon!!




Is cheese is good
