Époisses is a pungent soft-paste cow-milk cheese. Smear-ripened, "washed-rind"" (washed in brine and Marc de Bourgogne), it is circular with a distinctive soft red-orange color. It is made either from raw or pasteurized milk. It is sold in a circular wooden box, and in restaurants, is sometimes served with a spoon due to its extremely soft texture. 

Similar to Délice.
