Recommended but untried cheeses

  • Saint-Florentin: A raw cow's milk cheese from Burgundy. The one-pound drums have a washed rind and are creamy and rich.
  • Saint-Marcellin: From France's Dauphiné region, north of Provence. The 3-ounce disk of cow's milk cheese is best after a few weeks of ripening when the flavor becomes fruity and nutty.
  • Perail: A little disk of sheep's milk cheese that the Roquefort makers make for themselves.

These recommendations are from Steve Jenkins as heard on the Splendid Table.
