What is Pavé d'Affinois (Fromager d'Affinois) Cheese?
Pavé d'Affinois, also known as Fromager d'Affinois, is a French double cream, soft cheese made by Fromagerie Guilloteau in the Loire region of France. This cheese is crafted from pasteurized cow's milk and microbial rennet. While it resembles Brie in both appearance and flavor, Pavé d'Affinois is much creamier and ripens more quickly due to an ultrafiltration process that breaks down and blends the milk molecules into the paste. This method allows it to achieve a silky, fatty texture in just a few weeks.
This cheese offers a sweet yet mild flavor and a creamy, silky-smooth texture. It melts in your mouth, delivering a milky taste with hints of grass. The soft, oozing ivory interior is encased in an edible bloomy rind.
The cheese is available in several flavours, low-fat versions and as a blue mould cheese. The variants are:
- Fromager D’Affinois Excellence
- Fromager D’Affinois Blue
- Fromager D’Affinois Bûche D’Affinois
- Fromager D’Affinois Le Campagnier
- Fromager D’Affinois Le Fromager
- Fromager D’Affinois Minis D’Affinois
- Fromager D'affinois Petit D’Affinois
