A QUICK RUN down of the early cheeses we have tried since coming to France. Of course, many of these can be found in the US and many we have liked for years, but there are a lot of cheeses here that cannot be exported to the US because of FDA regulations.
In order to make this fun, I've promised the kids that whenever I talk about cheese I will include their thoughts about the cheese (since one of our Cheese Rules is that everyone must at least try it!) But since today's list doesn't include many exotic or rare cheeses, we're gong to skip the extensive comments. You can add your own if there is a particular cheese that you love. Here's our list so far:
- Compte
- Morbier
- Tomme de Savoie
- Reblochon
- Emmental (French and Swiss)
- Epoisses de Bourgogne (I'll have to comment on this later because you can't get it in the US)
- Saint-Nectaire (the kids' favorite so far, not counting the 'baby belle' that comes in the red rind!)
- Saint-Albray
- Camembert (although haven't tried the real A.O.C kind yet

Perac or Perail de Brebis are faves of mine! Chaumes is GREAT too, mild but stinky ;) And of course, Boursin with pecans!
