About Fleur du Maquis Cheese

Fleur du Maquis is a semi-soft, artisan cheese from France made with pasteurized sheep's milk. It is known for its white color and mild, citrusy flavor. The cheese has an herbal aroma, often attributed to the traditional coating of rosemary, fennel seeds, and juniper berries on its rind. This enhances its flavor profile, giving it a slightly aromatic edge. Fleur du Maquis is typically enjoyed as part of a cheese platter or paired with fresh bread and fruit. Its creamy texture makes it an appealing choice for those who enjoy softer cheeses.
