'''Époisses''' ({{IPA-fr|epwas|-|LL-Q150 (fra)-Lyokoï-époisses.wav}}), also known as '''Époisses de Bourgogne''' ({{IPA-fr|epwas də buʁɡɔɲ|lang}}), is a legally demarcated [[cheese]] made in the village of [[Époisses, Côte-d'Or|Époisses]] and its environs, in the [[Côte-d'Or|département of Côte-d'Or]], about halfway between [[Dijon]] and [[Auxerre]], in the former [[duchy of Burgundy]], France, from agricultural processes and resources traditionally found in that region.
Époisses is a pungent soft-paste [[cow]]'s-milk cheese. [[Smear-ripened]], "[[washed rind]]" (washed in brine and ''Marc de Bourgogne'', the local [[pomace brandy]]), it is circular at around either {{convert|10|cm|in|1|abbr=on}} or {{convert|18|cm|in|1|abbr=on}} in diameter, with a distinctive soft red-orange color. It is made either from raw or pasteurized milk.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://gaugryfromager.fr/the-gaugry-cheeses/epoisses-aop/|title=L'Epoisses AOP}}</ref> It is sold in a circular wooden box and, in restaurants, is sometimes served with a spoon due to its extremely soft texture. The cheese is often paired with [[Trappist beer]] or even [[Sauternes (wine)|Sauternes]] rather than a red wine.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}
