What it is is a mix of cheese, white wine, and herbs. It is generally homemade so there is no precise recipe. If you are not French this cheesy preparation might look and smell a bit strange but I can assure you that it is worth it!<\/p>\n<h3>Where is strong cheese coming from?<\/h3>\n<p>Fromage Fort is a cheese tradition that comes from the South-Est of France, particularly in the Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes and Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur regions. It is still, to this day, a fixed familial tradition. In the beginning, there was a will to reassert the worth of cheap cheeses and home leftovers for economic purposes. Those cheeses were called &#8220;the poor&#8217;s meat&#8221;. Fromage Fort quickly became a popular dish that would be eaten mainly by workers like farmers or miners with a big slice of bread.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a tour of all the different types of strong cheeses that exist around France, enjoy!<\/p>\n<h3>1.Cachat<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_28283\" style=\"width: 981px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/456-capture-fromage-fort.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28283\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28283\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/456-capture-fromage-fort.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"971\" height=\"645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/456-capture-fromage-fort.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/456-capture-fromage-fort-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/456-capture-fromage-fort-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/456-capture-fromage-fort-816x542.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 971px) 100vw, 971px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-28283\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cachat cheese &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/androuet.com\/Cachat-456.html\">Androuet<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>This traditional cheese preparation comes from the Mont Ventoux in the Provence-Alpes-C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur region.

This cheese itself is made with cow milk, it has a very strong smell and a very salty taste. Epoisse cheese was mainly eaten in the countryside. It has such a strong smell that it would give its taste to the bread. And when the taste was really too strong, uneatable, than the old cheese would be transformed into confit.<\/p>\n<p>The recipe is simple: just grate the cheese and then put it to macerate with white wine (a Bourgogne preferably) and some Brandy called &#8220;Marc du Pays&#8221;.\u00a0 After a ripening period of approximately three weeks, the mixture starts to get creamy and its taste starts to soften.<\/p>\n<h3>3.

The first one is by putting blue and goat cheese together, mashing the mixture and adding some white wine, salt, pepper, and yeast. The other way to prepare this strong cheese is by making a leek broth in which you put some grated goat and cow cheese. The whole thing is mixed with yeat, white wine, and butter.<\/p>\n<h3>4.

In comparison to other strong cheeses that are made in France, this mixture is not made with cheese leftovers but with Tomme cheese in which they let some pretty little worms make a home for themselves&#8230; Literally, Casgi\u00f9 merzu means &#8220;rotten cheese&#8221;, nice isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>To make this fabulous recipe, you need some goat cheese that you let rotten in a cool place somewhere in your house, preferably with lots of flys around! Those little flying wonders than lay their eggs inside the cheese.\u00a0 When they become worms, then they feed themselves with the cheese. People who actually like this cheese say that it walks by itself&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>This mixture is stored in a jar or a little pot. It has the taste of a very old Roquefort, another smelly cheese. Theoretically, Casgi\u00f9 merzu can&#8217;t be transported (it transports itself haha&#8230;).<\/p>\n<p>There are two ways to eat it (if you ever intend to do so). Either when the warms are still in it or when they are gone. To make them go away the mixture is put inside Brandy. You then eat it on a grilled slice of bread. This cheese is made any time of the year except during winter. You can easily find some in the south of Corsica even though, theoretically, it cannot be sold as it does not respect the Europeans health norms.<\/p>\n<div id=\"disco-1075612141\" class=\"disco-amazon-box-2024 disco-entity-placement\"><div style=\"width: 100%; border: 2px solid lightgray; padding: 3% 6% 3% 3%; border-radius: 5px;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Planning a trip to Â鶹APP ?
