Fromagerie Berthaut ‘Affidélice’ (France, 7.1oz)

About Affidélice

Some of Burgundy’s most celebrated cheeses have long been washed with local wines to develop their signature aromatic depth. Fromagerie Berthaut honors this tradition by washing their Affidélice with Chablis, the prestigious white wine from northern Burgundy. These regular washings gradually stimulate the cheese’s yellow-orange ferments, encouraging a slow, satin-smooth rind to form as the cheese matures.

Near full maturity, the pigmentation deepens and the flavors fully harmonize — revealing the rich, earthy character of the Burgundian terroir in every bite.

Tasting Notes

Supple and creamy paste with a pungent, washed-rind aroma softened by the Chablis wash. On the palate: rich, savory, and slightly tangy with notes of cultured butter, mushroom, and a lingering mineral finish. Bold yet balanced.

Serving Suggestions

Serve at room temperature alongside crusty baguette, cornichons, and charcuterie. Pairs beautifully with Chablis, white Burgundy, or a light Pinot Noir. An elegant centerpiece for any cheese board or gift basket.
