French Cheeses Home Return to       Fine Cheeses We have one of the largest selections of French cheese in Ottawa, with many different varieties arriving daily. Here are few of our favourites: BRIE is known for it's edible downy white rind and cream colour soft interior. When Brie is perfectly ripe it will ooze at room temperature. We carry a wide variety of Brie with different milk fats. The higher the fat the richer the Brie will be. CAMEMBERT made in Normandy has a fragrant aroma and taste of wild mushroom, with a slightly yeasty, almost meaty taste. CHEVRE LOG is a goat's milk, creamy, soft-white cheese. It is ideal for hors d'oeuvres, for grilling and melting. COMTE OR GRUYERE DE COMTE is a magnificent, firm, dry and slightly granular cheese. It has a creamy and piquant yet sweet taste. It's uses include table cheese, snacks, canapes, fondues, gratins. ROQUEFORT has adistinct bouquet and flavour that combines the sweet, caramel taste of sheep's milk with the sharp, tang of the blue mould. Used as a table cheese, blue cheese dressings, and in salads
