Brin d'Amour
Brin d’Amour meaning ''a birth of love'', is a Corsican cheese made from the milk of the Lacaune ewes. It is also known by its other name, Fleur de Maquis. This semi-soft cheese has a creamy, firm and moist textured pate covered by a natural, flavoured rind. It takes between 2 weeks to 2-3 months for the cheese to ripen fully.
The cheese is covered with an aromatic coating of rosemary, fennel seeds, juniper berries, and the occasional bird's eye chilli during the making process. It has a sour, citrusy taste and feels a bit mild in the mouth. The delicate herbs balance the strong characteristic flavours of the cheese. Because of its musty and nutty aroma, the cheese smells great too. Brin d’Amour matches nicely with Albarino, Riesling and Tempranillo.
