Ecume de Wimereux | Local Cheese From Wierre-Effroy, France | TasteAtlas

Ecume de Wimereux

Ecume de Wimereux is a traditional cheese produced in Wierre-Effroy in Pas-de-Calais. The cheese is made from raw cow's milk and cream, and it's usually left to age from 3 days to 3 weeks before consumption. Underneath its bloomy rind, the texture is soft, chalky, and creamy.


The flavors are fruity and creamy. The cheese comes in two versions – fresh, from 3 to 7 days of aging, and aged, from 2 to 3 weeks of aging. Although Ecume de Wimereux can be enjoyed throughout the year, the flavors are believed to be the best in spring and autumn.
