Fol Epi: Aroma H, Flavor H, Price H H
Fol Epi is a Swiss-type cheese made in the Loire Valley of France. It is often referred to as French Emmental.
Although it much resembles Emmentaler, the true Swiss cheese, in color, flavor and appearance when cut (Emmentaler is made in huge wheels nearing 100 pounds), it is altogether a more tender being than the rustic and slightly rubbery Swiss.
If Emmentaler is compared to, say, Katharine Hepburn — strong, a little prickly and unapologetic, then Fol Epi is Audrey Hepburn: sweeter, more innocent, more delicate.
