Soumaintrain

Discover the captivating character of Soumaintrain, a refined French cheese from Burgundy that has been enjoyed since the 13th century. Named after the historic village where it was first created, this IGP-protected cheese is made from high-quality pasteurised cow’s milk and carefully matured to develop its signature personality. Its soft, supple centre is wrapped in a beautiful orange washed rind, creating an enticing contrast between its striking appearance and its wonderfully creamy texture. Beneath its aromatic, pleasantly pungent rind, Soumaintrain reveals a smooth and melting paste with rich buttery notes, gentle lactic flavours and a delicate natural sweetness. As it matures, its warm orange hue and full-bodied character become more pronounced, offering remarkable depth while remaining softer and more approachable than its famous Burgundian cousin, Époisses. Every bite is generous, elegant and full of terroir, making Soumaintrain a truly exciting addition to any gourmet cheeseboard. Serve it with crusty artisan bread, fresh figs and walnuts, or add a drizzle of Burgundian crème de cassis to highlight its creamy richness and subtle sweetness. For an especially indulgent experience, allow the cheese to come to room temperature before serving so that its aroma and silky texture can fully develop. Keep refrigerated between 4°C and 8°C, wrapped in cheese paper, and enjoy within a few days of opening for the best flavour and texture.
