Mons Soumaintrain

This cheese was first made in Soumaintrain in the department of Yonne in Bourgogne. The first production of this cheese dates back to the 17th century. Soumaintrain is a farmhouse cheese and is a member of the Époisses family, with each cheese especially selected by Hervé Mons.

This traditionally ripened cheese is washed and brushed by hand two to three times a week. The rind is ivory to straw coloured for younger Soumaintrain, and orange to ochre for more matured cheese. 

This is often eaten young when it has a moist rind and a rich, salty flavour, while still creamy in texture. It is sweet and delicate when young but can also be aged to develop a firmer rind and significantly more pungent aroma and flavour.
