So, today, my friend Max and I decided to hunt it down in Los Angeles…

12-cheese-store-beverly-hills-shopWe hit up the Cheese Store of Beverly Hills. As soon as we opened the door, we were hit in the face with the so-gross-it’s-good smell of cheese.

12-cheese-shop-store-beverly-hillsThe individual mound of Langres cost a whopping $20, but we knew it would be worth it…

12-langres-cheese-picnic…and it was! Strong, supple, creamy, tangy, the cheese melted in our mouths, while the Champagne added a lovely effervescence. Yup, when it comes to all things edible, the French really do it right.
