Brezain is a smoked, cow's milk, raclette-style French
cheese produced in the mountainous Alps. After the cheese is produced, it is exposed to smoke generated from a wood fire highly
humid atmosphere. This atmosphere allows the smoke flavor to penetrate into the cheese, giving it a rustic element to its
already caramelly and nutty taste. The end result is a semi-soft cheese with an off-white, ivory colored pate and rich brown
rind.
