Le Maréchal is a high-quality firm cheese, with a rind that has with a mix of aromatic, organic herbs. Its beige paste has a distinctive aroma of butter, dried fruits, and a touch of barnyard. Its flavor is intense and lingering, with notes of salted caramel, roasted almonds and herbs. The herbs are more evident toward the rind, which is edible; instead of removing it, scrape it gently with a knife before consuming.

Pair it with figs or olives and a Chasselas white wine. Or try it with a Reisling, a Petit Chablais, a Bordeaux, or a Grenache rosé.
