About this item
Fleur du Maquis, a young sheep's milk cheese, is a frequent contender among our cheesemongers for the ultimate summer cheese. Its name means “Flower of the Maquis,” where "maquis" means "rough underbrush." This name cracks us up, but it does accurately describe how it looks. The pristine white wheels are encrusted with rosemary, fennel seeds, juniper berries, and pink bird’s eye chilies. It's a looker of a cheese.
The unique addition of juniper berries gives it a certain gin n' tonic flavor association, which when combined with a flaky, tart, citrusy paste, makes it the perfect escort to a party on a deck with ample chilled beverages. Merely a suggestion.
