Bergues

Bergues is a French semi-soft cheese produced in the eponymous commune near Dunkirk. The cheese is made from raw, partly-skimmed cow's milk. During the maturation process, it's washed with beer and brine. The texture is smooth, elastic, and supple, while the flavors are sharp and distinctive.

After it has been aged for 2 months, it's recommended to grate it, grill it, or bake it with soups, pasta, or vegetable dishes. For the best experience, pair it with a chilled beer on the side.
