Le Sousbois

Le Sousbois is a Swiss cheese originating from Vaud. It was invented in 2000 by Jean-Robert Henchoz. The cheese is made from raw Simmental cow's milk and it ages wrapped in spruce bark. Underneath its thin bloomy rind, the texture is gooey and buttery.

The aromas are smoky and woodsy, while the flavors are mushroomy, earthy, and grassy. The name of the cheese means below the woods, describing the place of its production. It's recommended to pair it with a glass of hoppy ale or Champagne.
