Epoisses, a runny cow’s milk cheese, is so stinky that apparently it has been banned from French public transportation. Now I’m dying to try it.

HAHA! That’s hilarious, my fiancee almost banned me from driving his car when I packed stinky cheese on one of our long driving trips to Michigan! Teehee! :)
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I think I will leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
These kind of post are always inspiring and I prefer to read quality content so I happy to find many good point here in the post, writing is simply great, thank you for the post
I must to say the cheese drives me crazy, I approach every time for eat cheese and I add in my recipes all the time. I read some days ago the cheese have many properties and vitamin. The most important thing is the potassium and calcium the cheese contain. I am sure that When i buying my house through costa rica homes for sale i will prepare a dinner for all my friends and I will add many cheese. That will be wonderful.
so i could have the pasteurized version of this one, luckily! :) earth4energy grow taller Electronic Cigarette tava tea error fix
This looks like something I would devour.
Favorite cheese? That’s like picking a favorite dessert or favorite pair of shoes – impossible. Every day I want different one.
Being a stinking cheese addict(and French),i can tell this one is worth trying(with a wallnut bread,yummy!).
The Maroille is great too.
You just need to have an excellent tooth paste and brush if you want to keep your husband ;)

La Sauvagine, Petite Basque, & Chevre with honey & pepper, all on the same platter. YUM!
Wenslydale with cranberries is my favorite cheese, followed closely by a nice brie and some smoked Gouda. Delicious!
Currently its Somerset Camembert from Cricket St. Thomas near Chard. It’s lovely.
I have been loving wensleydale with cranberries. Yum!
that is a tough one.
i think STILTON BLUE CHEESE has to be one of my favorites.
this shot is great! i love a good camembert–though the good ones can get very stinky.
The Stinkier the Better… Love Epoisses! Love the goooey textures
Gosh, I LOVE cheese so much, I don’t think I could ever choose a favorite…
I love Boursin spreads!
I’ll take anything smoked. On our one day “minimoon” the day after our wedding, husband and I were gifted a cheese plate with the most amazing chunk of orange, brown-rinded, smokey deliciousness. I wish I knew exactly what it was! Applewood smoked cheddar is close (and very, very good) but nothing quite compares.
i live in brazil and one of brazilans’ favorite foods is cheese – we put it on ev-uh-ree-thinnnggg!
but especially our own traditional “queijo minas” from my home state of minas gerais.
try to look for it in brazilian markets in NY – i know they have them!!! :-)
you can have it with anything – from bread to crackers to dulce de leche, to guava paste (yummm)
haha that’s hilarious.
that’s awesome!! epoisses is actually my favorite cheese!!! the cheese guy at the whole foods at columbus circle once told me that it is the best cheese i’d ever try (and worth the twenty dollars) and it was!! it doesn’t need a thing to go with it, it is so good alone or just with a little cracker!
pasteurized version of epoisses, kills epoisses. my favourite chees IS epoisses. and it’s not so stinky. et mes amis: vive la france!!!!
What a cute question…my favourite cheese is mersey valley, vintage and crumbly
I don’t eat much cheese from animals anymore, but when I did eat it I opted for the really stinky, gooey kind. I fell in love with cheese in Switzerland, and while attending school in Germany I literally made myself sick from eating too much cheese.
I’ve eaten cheese about once a month for the past year, and it’s usually on pizza. Many who quit eating animals and animal products say giving up cheese is no big deal, but I can’t say I’ve had the same experience. It’s really the only thing I miss. I do miss cheese, but not enough to start eating it again. But I will say, soy cheese isn’t the same.
Just a quick comment to the person that posted you cannot consume unpasteurized cheese when nursing – that is false. You absolutely can! I never would have breastfed my daughter for 22 months otherwise :) – we lived in France for my pregnancy, her birth and her first 5 months before a move to Asia. I would have gone insane after abstaining for 9 long months!
I’m a sucker for Hudson Valley Camembert. Also, the triple creme Brillat Savarin is sooooo good.
I once broke into on a smelly Camembert sandwich on a metro car in Barcelona. People were not pleased (to say the least!)
camembert…either on thin slices of brioche or in this recipe: http://asliceofcherrypie.blogspot.com/2009/02/steak-mushroom-and-camembert-pancakes.html
my 9 yo loves stilton (im sure it’s only because his favourite book series is about a mouse named Geronimo Stilton)
my 5 yo loves Nippy cheese (well, she’ll eat any cheese, and anything made with cheese)
mmmm. i heart cheese.
comte from france and manchego from spain!
This is funny because we went to the market tonight and spent about $30 just on cheese!
I love Havarti, white cheddar and Gouda!
Oh lordy, I was already hungry when I started reading this post & now all I can think about is brie!!!!
I. LOVE. CHEESE. I can’t say that enough… but it doesn’t love my hips =P My favorite for years was brie (especially wrapped in pilsbury dough and baked). Now, I think Chevre Goat cheese has surpassed it. My favorite way to eat it is on a cracker with jelly/jam (Habanero Raspberry Jelly please).
I love brie. And a brazilian cheese called ‘Meia-cura’ that we use to make our amazing cheese bread, in portuguese: Pão-de-queijo (here’s a picture of it: http://barbrinha.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/bacaninha_pao_de_queijo.gif)
Love from Brazil!
I love Morbier & Port Salut… both french cow’s milk cheeses :)
Here in Montreal we have a lovely stinky cheese called St. Andre. Delicious on baguette.
Never had it but stinky cheese are usually the tastiest!
Actually, epoisses is my favorite. It’s from the Bourgogne region in France, where I studied, and I’ll never forget the day that it was opened, stinking up the room–but then you spoon it out and it’s creamy and buttery (pungent but not off-putting). I might wait for unpasterized (when you can have it with a Burgundy or Sauterne), but if you can find it otherwise… Enjoy!
All of you cheddar lovers need to try Grafton Cheddar. Their ‘mild’ cheddar is sharper than most. SO GOOD!
I’m also in love with some good Juusto (bread cheese) found in the Midwest. YUM!
OK. You and me we’re gunna have a problem if you keep posting your food cravings. OK. You hearin’ me?
(Sad, with a wink and a grin).
I’m obsessed with cheese.. one of my favorite foods!! It’ funny, today I was having a conversation with a few ladies about cheese. Once shared how se used to drop a chunk of sharp cheddar in her hot chocolate, and I’m a fan of an american slice on hot apple pie. Mmmmm… anyway I a currently head over heels with laughing cow cheese. <3
if you like that try grayson its delicious!
really stinky sharp blue cheese! I had some that was wrapped in maple leaves from spain. it was perfect.
Since I’m vegan I like vegan “cheese” ;)
Though, I haven’t always been vegan. And before I stopped eating animal products all together I LOVED Gouda cheese.
Where do I start?! Top five:
1. Cambozola
2. Gruyere
3. Manchego
4. Blue D’Auvergne
5. Parmagiano Reggiano
Boy, that was tough…and now I’m hungry!
I absolutely love goat gouda
but my all time favorite is cambozola…a mixture of triple cream cheese & gorgonzola. mmmm
also. if you havent tried them yet, the best cracker’s i’ve had are Trader Joe’s pita crackers!
the smellier, the better!
petit basque! it’s so delicious. oh i want some! (shops are shut)
fresh mozzarella balls on crusty italian bread. i’m an italian girl alllll the wayyy.
This is going to sound so cheesy (pun totally intended here!) but I like good ol’ swiss cheese.
Yum Yummy!

La Sauvagine – it’s an AMAZING Canadain cheese. SO good!
Beemster is also amazing – it melts in your mouth like caramel!
I miss the good cheese so much. My favorite is the really ultra ewy runny stinky munster. it’s fabulous
I can also down some goat cheese.
haha this is funny, i am french and pregnant, and there is NO rule against any cheese here while pregnant!
i’m such a cheese addict. my favorites right now are goat cheese and gruyere, but i’ll definitely have to give this one a try!
So even though I’m in France, and love French cheese but I think my favorite is either Manchego or Provolone! I’m such a traitor! eek!
I’ve been eating so much cheese lately, every day! Soy cheese, laughing cow cheese spread, blue cheese in my salad, and swiss cheese in my sammiches. I love sharp cheddar too. Never tried that Epoisses, the smell sounds slightly frightening. haha
i saw Cowgirl Creamery mentioned a couple times up there. My favorite is Red Hawk from Cowgirl Creamery. It’s a problem.
I’m salivating right now…my fave is vacherin. Im obsessed but also a big fan of comte and emmental, with crackers. yum! happy cheesing!
Drunken Goat. It’s incredible.
Epoisses is something delicious! Stinky ? Yes it is, but only a little. But here in France we have cheeses that stink a lot more than this one : Maroilles, for example, which comes from the north of France.
Epoisses has not been banned from public transportations in France (it’s a free country :)), but it has been unfairly accused of causing problems for pregnant women, because of bacterias…
But this is contested by scientists. The reason is : these problems only happened once and the incriminate Epoisses had not been stored correctly. Now, well known scientists in France say the ban of raw cheeses during pregnancy could cause allergies for babies!
I’m following these questions very closely now… I’m not pregnant (yet) but I think it won’t be possible for me to live without cheese during 9 months…
If I can suggest one cheese for you girls, it would be the one called “Briat savarin”. It’s a cow milk cheese, incredibly creamy, and incredibly tasty. You have to test it next time you come here in France (But I think it’s possible to find some at Zabars, in NY… Where I found incredible and rare french cheeses… some of them hard to find even in France !)
Enjoy!
nicole, wow, i’m impressed!
oh no
i’m a vegan for a month :(
Next time you are not pregnant anymore and you visit your sister in SF, you can buy it at Rainbow, it is by far my favorite cheese (and I go buy some when I miss France too much!)
That is hilarious it was banned! I definitely wouldn’t want to be on public transportation with an uber stinky cheese…unless I was eating it myself, that is! My fav cheese has to be super aged gouda, or bucheron. YUM.
stinky cheese – oh noes! actually, you’ve piqued my interest, and now i’d like to find me some epoisses.
Smoked gouda:)

I’m a total Brie nut. Love it cold, toasted, baked with honey, etc etc. It’s the perfect cheese. The only other is Cowgirl Creamery Triple Cream from San Francisco. You can get it at the Ferry Building and it is oh so divine!
I’m a huge fan of Asiago! It is a bit on the smelly side, too. Leaves an aromatic trail behind after you’ve put it back in the fridge, and leaves your breath less than fresh. But, oh how I love it!
Could never pick a favorite, I’ve never met a cheese I didn’t want to eat. At this point in life my body composition is probably 50% cheese!
gouda gouda gouda
There was a time when I was obsessed with P’tit Basque, a french sheep’s milk cheese. I still get giddy when I see it in any store, and actually Whole Foods has been selling it here and there the past year. But anyway it is very subtle, nutty, and smooth. I could eat the whole p’tit wheel!
i looooove stinky cheese. i could never choose a favorite.
