There are more Belgian cheeses worth writing about. I'm sure I'll find one to enter in next month's Festival!<br /><br />Spacedlaw, I'm surprised you know about the cider from the pays de Herve. Have you been to Belgium or can you find it in Rome? I'm not sure the Herve will make it down there, though ... because it really can't stand the heat!<br /><br />Croquecamille, It's nice to meet someone one the internet who actually has been to Belgium. I'm glad you like it too. As far as the Herve is concerned, it comes in different wrappings, varying from plain cream coloured to red and green. The best ones are those packed in sealed containers ... but you won't find those in supermarkets. If you have the time, try Rob Gourmet Market in Woluwe (near Brussels).ladybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05690656561242165157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297241541767981823.post-2761918203925633692009-09-15T17:01:43.769+02:002009-09-15T17:01:43.769+02:00I love both Munster and Maroilles... and Belgium, ...I love both Munster and Maroilles... and Belgium, for that matter.

The packaging varies from cream coloured, green to red, and it doesn't always come in sealed containers. Look luck and enjoy - if or when you manage to find it.

Maybe it's because I'm not looking for it so I will keep you posted.<br />It sounds scrummy.

It'll add more 'pit' to the cheese. <br /><br />I'm not sure whether you can get Herve in France. But if so, do try it next time you're in Europe!

We couldn't go past the very strong smell! <br /><br />Your blog makes that Le Herve cheese very appetizing. Is the crust edible or should it be removed before tasting that fromage?<br /><br />Next time I am in France, I'll try and find it.chmnoreply@blogger.com
