Lesire et Roger
| Maroilles by Lesire et Roger is a renowned, pungent washed-rind cheese from Northern France, famous for its strong aroma but gentle, creamy flavor. Produced using pasteurized cow's milk (mainly from Rouge Flamande cattle), animal rennet, and traditional techniques, Lesire et Roger balances industrial consistency with artisanal methods. Originating in the 1920s from the unification of two cheese families, the cheese features a moist, orange rind and rich, savory profile. Mongers address its aroma through education and tasting strategies. Maroilles is ideal with regional beer or mild wine, and overripe wheels are used in local tart, Flamiche. | |
