Editorial Reviews
A cross between a Brie, a Camembert and very similar to the original Reblochon (now unavailable in the United States), Merlemont is a soft, unpressed cheese with a thin bloomy rind washed with brine. Made by the Cooperative of Paturages Comtois, this small disc-shaped cheese is made of cow's milk (55% fat content makes it creamy) and comes wrapped (very much like Brie in that sense). From the region of Franche-Comté, pair Le Merlemont with light, fruity red wines and serve at room temperature.
