Sablé de Wissant is a unique cheese offered by Fromagerie Sainte Godeleine, located on the Côte d’Opale in France. This soft cheese is renowned for its creamy texture and distinctive rind, which is brushed with local Blanche de Wissant beer. This process imparts a rich aroma and a mild flavor with hints of malty notes derived from the beer.


Its rind, coated with fine breadcrumbs, adds to its texture, providing a subtle crispness that perfectly complements its smooth interior. Sablé de Wissant received global recognition in 2004 when Cranfield University named it the "World's Most Odorous Cheese," further cementing its uniqueness.


This cheese is an ideal choice for enthusiasts of bold and authentic flavors, especially when paired with quality wines or beers.
