Elevate Your Next Dinner Party with France's Finest

Fromagerie Guilloteau (www.fromagerdaffinois.com), one of France’s finest specialty cheese producers, makes an amazing selection of cheese perfect for wine pairing or your next dinner party.


Fromager d’Affinois (my favorite) is a smooth double cream cheese that expresses the cheesemaker’s expertise and delicacy in the cheese maturing process. The high fat-content of this cheese positions it halfway between a traditional Brie and a triple-cream cheese. Its bloomy white rind surrounds a seductively soft interior and its mild and buttery flavor features a hint of sweetness. I paired this with a South African rose and sipped outside on my patio.  It makes for a lovely evening!

In addition to the original Fromager d’Affinois, this cheese also comes in flavors of Pepper, Garlic & Mixed Herbs, and Blue.

The Fromager d’Affinois Pepper combines the bite of peppercorns (black, green, white, pink and Jamaican) with the smoothness of a double-cream cheese. 

The Fromager d’Affinois Garlic & Herbs pairs the zip of fresh garlic with mixed herbs (parsley, chives and chervil).

The Fromager d’Affinois Bleu combines the tang of blue cheese with the smoothness of the Fromager d’Affinois Plain. Its mild edible rind surrounds a delicious yellow paste that is speckled with beautiful blue veins.
