	Bleu d'Auvergne Bleu d'Auvergne is a moist, creamy cheese with an even spread of veins. The cheese is name-protected (Appelation d’Origine Controlée, AOC), and is produced in the "Massif Central" between Puy-de-Dôme and Cantal, an area characterized by volcanic and granitic soil rich in oligo-elements.

	Blue de Gex The official name of this cheese is Blue du Haut Jura; it is also known by the name of Blue de Septmoncel. It is produced only from the Montbéliardes or Pie rouge de l’Est cows that graze on the mountain grasses and wild flowers of the Jura. The cheese has a mild taste that hints of mushrooms, tarragon and fresh milk.

	Brie de Nangis Brie de Nangis, made just outside of Paris, France, is a milder, buttery brie.

	Bucherondin Bucherondin was one of the first French goat cheeses exported to the United States, and therefore has the honor of being what many Americans think of as “chevre”. Semi-soft, with a dense, flaky paste and a white bloomy rind, the assertive flavor of Bucherondin sharpens with age.

	Cantalet Cantalet cheese is named after the Cantalet Mountains in Auvergne, where it is produced from unpasteurized cow’s milk.

	Fromage D'Affinois Similar in appearance to Brie, this French cheese has a bloomy rind and a creamy paste. However, it boasts an even creamier texture and a more buttery flavor, and lacks the earthy, mushroomy taste of Brie.

	Valencay Pyramid An interesting addition to any cheeseboard, the Valençay Goat Pyramid is easily recognized by its distinctive shape and its coating of salted charcoal ash.

	Le Chevrot Also known as French Crottin, this goat's milk cheese is made in the heart of France in the verdant Loire Valley.

	Livarot- Grand Aubrac AOC Produced in the Normandy region of France, this cow’s milk cheese’s distinctive features are its strong aromatic pungency and the bright orange strips of raffia or paper which bind it.

	Mimolette Intensely fruity, Mimolette is popular as a cooking cheese and as a snack to eat with a glass of beer. When young (4 to 6 months), the cheese is firm, compact and slightly oily with a subtle fruity aroma and a mellow, nutty taste. Most of the time, however, Mimolette is eaten when aged.

	Morbier Named for a little farm town in France, this semisoft cow's cheese was originally made with leftover cheese for personal consumption by artisanal cheesemakers. It is easilty recognizable by the line of ash through the middle.

	Pierre Robert Hailing from Ile de France, this bloomy cow’s milk triple-creme is pure buttery decadence—a result of extra cream added at the end of the production process.
